I don't want to repeat information that you've received above but do want to talk a little bit more about the PARR test. It is essentially analyzing the tissue obtained from a FNA, via an ultrasound, and is looking for specific abnormal cell markers that can point to cancer. When the results of an ultrasound and subsequent FNA indicate conditions conducive to cancer the PARR is done to further assess the actual tissue obtained through the FNA. I am not an expert, but I do know the SCL (small cell lymphoma) forum considers this to be a stellar test for determining cancer. While there obviously can be negative tests that will not allow the medical world to entirely discount lymphoma, it seems to be a very helpful tool overall.Have you found out any results on Feeby? do you know how a PARR test is done. I tried to read about this but it didn't make sense to me. If this is a definite way to determine lymphoma why wouldn't the vet suggest this ?
Feeby, btw, did not have the PARR done, as the specialist said that the FNA analysis didn't warrant it - meaning not enough reason to think the cells they collected were abnormal to the degree to point toward cancer. However, they still would not rule out lymphoma.
Are you sure she is allergic to chicken, and not some other product(s) in the foods you have tried? Maybe it would be worth it to try human chicken and see. There are supplements to add to human meats to make them nutritionally complete for a cat (EZ Complete is one of them). Nonetheless, there are limited ingredient canned foods that primarily consist of meats such as rabbit, lamb, venison, beef, and duck to name the main ones. Check this food chart out and see if that might help you select some possible options.
