A little background since it has been a while since I have been her: My soul kitty, Tuvok, passed away Dec. 27th, 2022 (2 days before that, I lost my father). It was a rough time, and I was incredibly sad. I went to visit a cat shelter a few weeks later just to "snuggle some kitties" and ended...
We got some Budesonide just in case! His doctor said prednisolone will be better for what is currently happening but we can give it a try. His glucose has stayed down with only 1 mg of prednisolone a day (I forgot to list that on my previous post).
Thanks!
Thanks for checking in !
His FNA had some cells and mentioned something about some intermediate cells? But the amount was low and usually doesn't mean anything? Not sure.
He is doing okay. Was doing well, and the past couple of days seems to have gone backwards. He was eating more on his own...
Finally back from the hospital. We will have results from the aspirate tomorrow. The ultrasound showed his pancreas looking more inflamed than before with liver looking about the same. She did mention something happening with ducts (liver? gall bladder?) and wants to start Ursidol. He was on...
How often were your cats numbers being tested in the process? The first week it was daily and now we are doing once a week. Is this too often? It's only been 2 weeks since diagnosis and less than 2 weeks since we got a feeding tube. My cat is currently not hiding (other than when he hears his...
Not sure if I can edit posts, but I forgot to mention that we trust his Oncoloigist. She loves him so much but just didn't feel like oncology would be the best department when dealing with pancreatitis/liver issues.
Tuvok is at the vet now getting his fine needle aspirate and followup ultrasound. I decided to move forward just to get a better picture. Hopefully this is enough and we can just give him more time vs constant lab work. I really hope he is just at the point of getting worse before better.
He...
Hi Mrsgreenjeans. I just posted a thread on a similar topic. I am at a complete loss and I am hopoing for for advice/insight. If you have a moment to look over my thread in the health forum it would mean a lot.
I am going through somethign similar with my cat. I just posted in the health forum. Would I be able to ask you questions? Or if you wouldn't mind seeing my post in the health forum? I am at a loss on what to do and where to go. My cat is getting another ultrasound and a fine needle aspirate...
Background: My cat, Tuvok, is 15 years old with Small Cell Lymphoma (treated since 01/2021 with Chlorambucil/Prednisolone. Prednisolone stopped March 2022 due to increased blood glucose).
A few weeks ago his appetite was slightly down. I figured this was likely because we had to switch from...
