    Hi @silent meowlook Thank you so much for your insight! The specialist did not mention anything specific about a bile duct obstruction - I wish I had seen your message before the appointment...drats. I will call and ask about it. Thank you all for your kindness. They did an ultrasound-guided...

    A long overdue update. It's been a little crazy, so the good stuff first. We saw the specialists; an intern, and a resident took care of him and the radiologist happened to be on-site that day> I don't have the full report yet, but they said the ultrasound showed nothing that was on the first...

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I have been reading so much about the drugs Alfie should be taking, side effects, and biopsies.It's overwhelming and I know that the people here on this forum know more than the vets because they live the trials. Today Alfie...

    Thank you so much for responding. I think I am struggling with the decision to do more because I have made many mistakes with all my cats when there have been options to pursue; always picking what I thought was best and not always being right. I've always done all the tests without question...

    Hello! I finally got the blood results today. Levels are lower than previously, but still high. Vet advised us to just monitor and keep on with the Demamarin unless we decide to biopsy, but with weight stable and levels dropping,, I'm torn. There must be something going on, and the Denamarin is...

    HI all, I am so sorry for the delayed response. I have been working 70 hours a week and had not found a moment to return as I have no new blood test results to add yet. The vet visit last week was inconclusive. The vet said that the pancreatitis test has to be done after fasting for 12 hours so...

    I am so sorry for the delayed reply. I had to reschedule the vet visit for today at 3pm; I am going to give Alfie some gabapentin to calm him some for the appointment. Poor little guy. The good news is that he is eating and playing and the last weigh-in was 8lbs 2 oz Thank you so much for your...
