My Mittens made it to 2 and a half, died of Mediastinal Lymphoma.
Calawalla died at about 3 yrs, same diagnosis with some variations.

Thanks,
my vet is off today so can't ask him. have you called another vet just to
inquire whether there's any test to determine or why it would not show up in the
tests your vet did. Your vet should not balk at a second opinion. unfortunately
it's just the costs.

The blood test came back and Gary is not overproducing
blood cells from her marrow, which I guess was the
worst possible scenario.
The vet said we can either a) do a blood transfusion
and start tetracycline and hope for the best (even tho
we don't think her anemia is bacterial caused) or b)

Please know I'm right there with you. My Hannibal has

blood cells. My vet told me we aren't going to
reverse this but want to keep him comfortable. He was
still himself when I went to the vet Monday but is

Thank you so much for your post. I'm sorry about your

I think we may do the blood transfusion and I'd like
to try the dexamethesone just so we have another few

even take her home from the vet without a transfusion.

Ah Jill, I'm so sorry Gary is succumbing so quickly. I thought you and

Hannibal had a hard time with his meds yesterday and I

I'm glad your tests went well. I'm going to go pick up Lovey tonight. I just brought in a cage to set him up in for tonight because I'm picking him up late and then will have to go to work early in the morning. I don't want to risk any fighting or anything while I'm gone, and as I've

When I tried to get Simon a transfusion last Friday, he fought it and had
to be put in an oxygen tank as well, and could not even get it. It is from
having low oxygen stores due to not enough red blood cells, they can't breathe
