*damn*

The results of Mickey's blood work came back. The liver enzyme that was high last year is even higher now. Last year, antibiotics apparently fixed the problem, but the vet told me that an infection shouldn't return like this.

So sometime this week or next week, it's off to a bigger clinic for an ultrasound. They want to rule out tumors and such.

Poor little guy--he's going to hate this.

I'm not crazy about it, either.

Ouch. Sorry for Mickey and his dogmom, too. My cat had to have an ultrasound last fall, (for quite different symptoms) and they ended up putting him on a prednisone tablet every other day, which seems to be controlling his problems for the moment. Here's hoping your vets can come up with something helpful, too.

Fingers crossed. I Googled for info last year, and I'm not going to do it again. Too much that I don't want to read or think about unless I have no choice.

You both have my sympathies. Merlyn had slightly elevated markers this time -- the vet is talking about irrigation under the skin a couple times a week, which we would both hate. So I have three months to get him hooked on canned food and low-protein dry stuff, to see if that will control things. If he won't go for it, it's K/D and irrigation, damn it.

He's eleven, but other than the oak allergies (and dust -- he insists on getting on bookcases I only dust once a month...) he acts like a 2 year old cat. He's one of the Dorian Gray kitties...

Hope you can come up with a good plan for Mickey.

Psychokitten offers his sympathy and hope that it all works out okay. :-/
