Janet, It sounds like you have been through alot. It also sounds to me like your little one has lymphoma although the specifics of the bloodwork would be more telling. Did your vet happen to do a feline leukemia virus test? This virus can cause lymphomas and leukemias but lymphomas and

Janet, Probably the best approach to the vitamins is to do cod liver oil - nordic natural pet cod liver oil. It contains the fish oil, vitamin A and Vitamin D. You can order this online or get it from pretty much any holistic vet. I believe the dosage is one quarter teaspoon daily, but check
