My 10 year old very large (overweight cat) 23 lbs and has asthma; started acting lethargic and I noticed his right fot was slipping as he walked 2 days ago. I took him to his vet who did xrays and a glucose test - which was 106. and in xrays said he could see the outline of lungs which he shouldn't and thought he saw a shadow near right side of lung. I then took him to a specialist to look for cardiomyopathy. They did an echocardiogram (came out ok) and an abdominal ultrasound and could not see anything. they then extracted roughly a liter of fluid and said he has ascites. They don't know why though. Suspect cancer. They sent me home with prednisone and lasix and basically said palliative care. they could go on and do a cat scan for another 1500..... My bill was 2,000 for yesterday. My cat is still not moving arounda nd I haven't seen him poo in 2 days. He is eating when I put it by him and today he drank alot. Any thoughts? DO you agree he probably has cancer - but all of a sudden in 2 days to go from ok to barely moving?
