Sorry, I've been involved in our yearly fund raiser and also taking in cats
- haven't kept up.
Just want to say I always maintain a questioning attitude of my vets, even
if they're specialists, and recommend that. I do remember, however,
running across the "Wisconsin Protocol" when Mittens was ill and was on
Vincristine - supposed to be better - it involved alternating specific anti
cancer "drugs".
More effective than Vincristine or whatever alone. Sounds kind of similar
to what Brenda is talking about. But of course this was for lymphoma, and
you haven't gotten a diagnosis.
FYI - Best of luck -

Thank you Belinda. I am also close to Texas A & M, (about an hour, hour and
a half) which might be another option for us in finding an oncologist. We
could consult with an oncologist who could give my vet a protocol to follow
for chemo should Cotton need it.
I'm dealing with a lot of what-if's, and Michelle's right, I do need to get
a definite diagnosis first.
I totally wish I could do the ultrasound myself, I run the one at my doc's
office for ultrasound guided biopsies he performs in the office all the
time. I'm sure if I looked at Cotton's xray simultaneously, I could get
some great pics the vet could interpret. Dah. Wishful thinking.
