Hello, I am just a little confused, would love ideas/suggestions. Maybe grasping at any good outcome....
Helmytt is almost 13.5 years old, short hair domestic male, fixed.
Dec visit: Chemistry blood draw good, weight normal.
Feb visit: Thought he had lost weight... actually gained almost 2 lbs, chemistry blood draw good. Determined he gained weight because my other cat's diabetes/hyperthyroidism caused her eat less so he was eating all of the food, got her meds adjusted and she is good.
Beginning of May: Got out of my back yard for 3 days, I believe was accidently locked in someone's garage per the way he smelled. Thought he had lost weight but made sense.
July 8th visit: Thought he had lost weight, was down almost 4lbs since Feb visit (from 12 to 8, 2 lbs less the normal weight). Once we got the below blood results went in for a visit 7/10. Did CBC, I do not have the actual results but white blood count is normal (she didn't mention anything else) with that test. We did Xrays and did see a mass in his lung, not huge but definitely there I am guessing 1/2 inch diameter. She said it appeared contained/probably wasn't metastasized. He has always had kidney crystals which are definitely kidney stones now. We have outstanding blood tests to determine if it is ionized calcium and Primary hyperparathyroidism. The lab may have received his blood today to test, or I will get the results next week.
He is still eating, still drinking, acting normal. My bf's kid did tell me when he fed them when I was on vacation, that my other cat wouldn't let my Helmytt eat and he has to push her away to let Helmytt get some of the canned cat food. They have been on Pea and Rabbit dry food (RX) and Fancy Feast (1 can in am and 1 can in pm) for years now.
Chemistry blood draw 7/8 NOT fasted:
Type Normal Range
GLUCOSE 108 69-120 mg/dL
UREA NITROGEN SERUM H 49 10-42 mg/dL
CREATININE SERUM 1.68 0.80-2.00 mg/dL
BUN/CREAT 29 Ratio
BILIRUBIN TOTAL <0.2 <0.6 mg/dL
BILIRUBIN DIRECT <0.1 <0.3 mg/dL
BILIRUBIN INDIRECT *** mg/dL
Calculation for Indirect Bilirubin is invalid due to Total Bilirubun result of <0.2
ALT (SGPT) 67 <100 IU/L
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE 34 <100 IU/L
LACTIC DEHYDROGENASE(LD) 82 <255 IU/L
AST (SGOT) 28 <65 IU/L
CHOLESTEROL H 190 95-150 mg/dL
TRIGLYCERIDES H 82 13-74 mg/dL
CALCIUM H 11.4 8.5-11.0 mg/dL
PHOSPHORUS 5.1 3.2-6.6 mg/dL
SODIUM H 164 145-159 mmol/L
POTASSIUM L 3.6 4.0-5.4 mmol/L
CHLORIDE H 128 108-126 mmol/L
PROTEIN SERUM 7.1 6.3-8.4 g/dL
ALBUMIN H 3.9 2.3-3.8 g/dL
GLOBULIN 3.2 g/dL
OSMOLALITY CALCULATED 338 295-345 mOsm/Kg
VET T4 1.7 0.7-5.5 ug/dL
I am thinking once the calcium comes back I will know for sure if it is cancer or not? Things are off on his results but he wasn't fasted so unsure how reliable some of the numbers are... The nodule in the lung exist and I can't talk my way out of that one.... Any thoughts? I do plan on going in for a 2nd opinion or getting the chemistry done again? I am lost.
