Six months ago, Molly had pancreatitis. The specialty vet did a needle biopsy on the intestines and the results came back as "inconclusive". She was diagnosed with IBD.
I thought she was out of the woods, as she is doing so much better with a change of diet. But she threw up (water) this morning, she's been hiding (she did that 6 months ago too) and hasn't eaten or drank anything.
I am going to call the vet tomorrow & get her seen. I gave her some gabapentin and ondansetron earlier today to relieve her symptoms (I had some on hand).
But - what does an inconclusive lymphoma needle biopsy mean? Is it a common finding in IBD cats? Or was the needle biopsy "inconclusive" for intestinal lymphoma because it was early stages and now the cancer is definite?
Any help you can give is appreciated. I love Molly so much! She sleeps with me every night and I cannot imagine not having my "bed buddy" with me.
