Has he been checked for lymphoma? If he is FeLV+, that would be my guess.
There are things you can do for lymphoma. To diagnose, first step is
usually blood work and palpating for tumors, and if no tumors that can be felt

I'm so sorry that Kurt is having such a bad time, and so glad it's YOU,

You're right, it is the same way. I hope our vet will go ahead with the paperwork - and maybe we can find a way to come up with some $$. I sometimes wonder if it would be better to take in fewer animals and be able to concentrate more time and money both on their care - but then along comes ano

Oh Susan, I understand completely. I've, sort of by default, opted for

Macarena,
I would assume that the nausea is from the kidney
problems rather than the diabetes, though the two problems may be related.
Kidney problems can be helped by subcutaneous fluids and phosporous blockers,
and perhaps other things that are currently slipping my mind. The nausea

Yep. Yesterday, I went to look for his

Oh man, I can't even come up with anything else to say. Why does your
vet suspect cancer? She's acting fine? The WBC is indicative of
infection, right? What is L/M? Damn it Kyle, I feel like throwing a
tantrum.

Well, if her WBC is up, that means her body is fighting whatever it
is. That's good. Don't assume it's cancer, just see what the specialist
has to say, if that's what you meant! My 2cents!
Sending lots of good vibes and prayers.

Thanks Hideyo. That's why I wanted to run it by the list first. I think I'll

if her blood was drawn before or after the Immunoregulin injection. Maybe that
