Re: Cotton crisis

Hi Michelle: My theories were for the stomach issues, not the kidneys.  I am afraid that his kidneys being enlarged is a new finding.  However, I agree with you, he may very well have lymphoma in the kidneys and intestines.  His labs were all normal. So I still need to talk to the regular vet about his kidneys.

That can occur in the kidneys and intestines, is common in FeLV+ cats, and responds well to dexamethasone (it shrinks lymphoma).  It might not have anything to do with lymphoma, and I hope it does, but if it does chemo might help in addition to dex. What were his kidney values like on his blood panel? Michelle
