    Thought It Was Lymphoma, It Was Not, But What Is It?

    Yes, it does help- thank you so much. When we initially thought it was lymphoma, I decided no to chemo or even biopsy and instead go for quality of life. I think I am still in this frame of mind and only in this frame of mind due to her age. Her health is good for her age but none the less such...

    Thought It Was Lymphoma, It Was Not, But What Is It?

    My cat had elevated liver enzymes so we did an ultrasound and found some inflamed intestine/nodes and a small mass in her intestine. Vet immediately assumed it was lymphoma and because she is 18, we decided to put her on 14 days of prednolosine and recheck. My cat had her 14 day later...

    Asymptomatic 18 Year Old- Intestinal Lymphoma

    Thank you for sharing those stories. I understand about time, especially now. I also love her too much to cause even a day of pain when the result is the same no matter what. I guess time will tell. I almost wish I didn't find out about this finding, the ultrasound was supposed to examine her...

    Asymptomatic 18 Year Old- Intestinal Lymphoma

    That is good to hear. I am not a focus on today person, I usually like to know asap. Leave it to my Simba to teach me patience. Is it wrong to want to plan to let her when symptoms start so she can avoid the vomiting or not eating or any pain? My vet said better to let her go one day early...

    Asymptomatic 18 Year Old- Intestinal Lymphoma

    I have an asymptomatic 18 year old girl who had some elevated liver enzymes so we took her to the vert for ultrasound and while liver was fine, they found a small mass in her intestine with some inflammed lymph nodes. The assumption is lymphoma. After much talk with multiple vets, we opted to...

    Cat Elevated Alt-could This Be Caused By Gabapentin.

    Sure, Simba is 10.4lbs. she gets 25 mg of gabapentin two times a day. It really has helped with Simba's arthritis, she is back to climbing steps again :) She is pictured in my profile :) I am a bit stressed for her today. Ultrasound is tomorrow and she has not been in the car for 5 years. We...

    Cat Elevated Alt-could This Be Caused By Gabapentin.

    And by the way, her name is Simba. We thought she was a boy when we found her at 2 weeks old, which I found out she was a girl we just changed it to Simbalina :)

    Cat Elevated Alt-could This Be Caused By Gabapentin.

    Thank you so much for this info. We did recheck 2 weeks later and it went up 10 points. Still in the slight elevation range but elevated. My vet is 5 minutes away, but my cat while healthy has not been in a car for 5 years. We have a home vet come every 6 months and she has had normal blood...

    Cat Elevated Alt-could This Be Caused By Gabapentin.

    Hi All, My older 17 year old cat has elevated ALT from routine bloodwork. She is eating and acting fine, but we are opting to do an ultrasound next week to check. I was wondering if gabapentin for arthritis can do this to her? Up until we started this med, her blood work was fine. Now slightly...
