Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2006Squamous Cell CA
Need some information. About a month ago our cat developed what appeared to be a nail injury. Had some blood and swelling. Vet started on antibiotics within 3 weeks our cat lost the nail and had swelling the size of a nickel on rear toe. Vet x-rayed and it showed a mass. The vet amputated the toe. Report came back today as squamous cell ca. Our vet did not give us a very good prognosis. Doing some reading though it seems that ungual ca is usually not very aggressive and rarely metastasizes (sp?). I am been hopeful or is the vet being overly cautious? Thanks >Need some information.

There is no such type of cancer. >>Need some information. About a month ago our cat developed >>what appeared to be a nail injury. Had some blood and swelling.
