Re: [felinelymphomacaregivers] Bailey Update

My own iron was low from being on a medication that reduces my stomach acid, which interferes with iron absorbtion. Is there any chance that any of the meds he's on can interfere with iron absorbtion? Also, is he on extra calcium, because calcium binds with iron. Anyway, Pet Tinic should be helping with that... I wonder if it could be lab error? Michelle   In a message dated 3/8/2006 6:03:45 P.M.

I've made an appointment for an ultrasound, originally had it for Tuesday but decided to try to get an earlier appointment, they squeezed me in tomorrow.  We will be checking kidney's, speen, liver, intestines and looking for enlarged lymphnodes.  If she see's anything that doesn't look right we will get fine needle aspirates of the area.  Have also ordered a higher calorie food PD, which is for birthing animals and animals that have been traumatized.  Hopefully he will start to put on some weight.
