Thanks, everybody who responded, for all the great
information and advice. Wallace is having his
ultrasound today, and probably the biopsy as well.
I've joined that yahoogroups list, but haven't made my
initial post as I don't have a definitive diagnosis
yet. I should have that in the next day
Hi folks -- long-time lurker here...
I'm having the same problem with my Wallace. He's 10
in July, half-Maine Coon tiger-tuxedo tabby, used to
be 20 pounds. Now he's starved himself down to 9
pounds, and up until last Thursday, the vet was
mystified. All his bloodwork is normal. (He's not one

Jean, I have had 2 kitties with lymphoma neither of them had FeLV. I
think an ultrasound done by an expereienced ultrasonagrapher is
definitely in order.

Yes, that's the next step. I'm sitting here at home
waiting for the vet to call me back to
Jean,
I really pray it is something much less scary than cancer, cancer is
scary but with today's vets and the oncology or internal specialists,
pets are doing much better surviving cancer, some going into remission
for many years and eventually passing from old age or other age related
Hi Jean,
I'm sorry Wallace is having such a time! One thought
I had that may not be an issue, but it's worth
mentioning: I did think hyperT because I have one at
home. When they did his bloodwork, did they do a T4
test (or maybe it's free T4)? I know some thyroid
tests will come back normal,
PS. Forgot to say there are a few lymphoma kitties in the group that
are +, but most are not.

When my vet saw Buddies liver was enlarged on an xray, she scheduled
an ultra sound and biopsy if needed. She did get an ultra sound and the
vet doing it did do several biopsies, and that is how the cancer was
diagnosed. It was classified as lymphoma of the liver and Buddie was
negative
Yes both tests should be done, a T4 is the standard test, the Free
T4 is the one that is used if the other is normal but thyroid is
suspected, that is how we caught Fred's so early, he was always normal
on the T4, but he had tiny lump on his thyroid we were monitoring for
about a year and
We went straight to chemo. With Coconut, he was treated ini the
oncology section of the All Care Trauma Center in Fountain Valley, CA.
JuneAmy, who I lost just over a year ago, was treated at the U of WI vet
school. Her lymphoma was an extremely fast growing type we lost her.
