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

It seems to be a manageable form of skin cancer.

You also mentioned ungual cancer. There is no such type of cancer.

You need to set the wrap on your news reader. The posting came
through fine here.

Wrong. Appears fine on this end. You need to learn how to adjust
your newsgroup reader to wrap lines.
