Re:Was appropriate calorie in take for a kitty - Now Bailey's Diagnosis
Hi All, Just got back from the vets. Xrays show something going on with the intestines, they do not look right and are bunched up with the actual loops really not disernable, also there is an enlarged lymph node around his lung that wasn't there on the last xray. My vet suspects that he now possibly has lymphoma. He is having surgery tomorrow morning to open his tummy and see if there is a tumor or diffused cancer and take biopsies of his intestines and since she will have him open she will check the rest of his organs, kidney's, bladder, spleen, liver which all look OK on xray. Obviously with him being in the shape he has been in for the last 4 or so months, there is a very real possibility he will not survive the surgery, please pray that whatever happens he doesn't have any unnecessary pain and that he doesn't suffer. I am going to spend the day with him and let him know whatever choice he makes is fine with me and I will be OK ... I hope he chooses to stick around for a while longer. His tube looks OK, no white matter around it to show that there is any leakage or that anything has been aspirated and his breathing is normal again, so his intestines being bunched up would explain the food not going through and him starting to throw it back up. It would also explain why he is so uncomfortable when it is time to feed him, I imagine the food just sitting in his tummy and be forced out by his next meal can't feel very good. He does have a fever again and she gave me some clinic care to see if that will go through and give him some nutrients, his weight is good at 9lbs. 8oz. Well I'm going to go feed him. Take care all. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

That is such a scary diagnosis. Good luck on surgery tomorrow; I'll be thinking about you both.Belinda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All,Just got back from the vets.

Re:Was appropriate calorie in take for a kitty - Now Bailey's Diagnosis
I hope everything goes well for Bailey! I am an RN, so I am familiar with all these diagnoses for humans, but not as they pertain to our 4-legged friends. Treasure tonight with him and keep telling him how much you love him!Susan Loesch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That is such a scary diagnosis.

Re:Was appropriate calorie in take for a kitty - Now Bailey's Diagnosis
Belinda, I am glad to hear that it wasn't a problem with Bailey's feeding tube, but it sounds like you have your hands full with what it might be. I am praying Bailey's surgery goes well and that he comes out of it feeling good. Please keep us posted. Praying for peace for you and Bailey, Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
