I don't know if this would help but there is a feline IBD group on Yahoo. I
joined when I was having problems with the kittens. The moderator is very
knowledgeable.

You're right, at least I'd have a medical protocol to follow. She's only a
year old and even though she's in a very weakened condition, she's a
fighter. I know she doesn't want to leave.

Nina,
I didn't think those two emails made it sound bad for Gypsy. Even if
it is lymphoma, lymphoma often responds incredibly well to chemotherapy,
and even just to steroids for a while, especially intestinal lymphoma.
Compared to your thinking she is dying right now, a diagnosis of lymphoma
would not necessarily be terrible-- it might meant she has treatment
options and a possibility of good quality life at least for a while. I
know that the main problem with her is that she is hard to catch and get
veterinary care for, so maybe even steroids would be a challenge. But they
can be given by injection....
