So my 13+ y/o cat (Nani) was recently diagnosed with anemia and possible liver cancer or liver disease. The vet gave me medicine for other unrelated, minor stuff but not for the anemia. I called and left a message that I wanted to find out why. I recall the vet indicating that Nani's condition was bad, but I'm a bit unclear as to how bad. Honestly, I was a bit in shock at the diagnosis because I assumed the symptoms were related to CRF. I think the vet said she could live six months or she could die next week. Nani is still fairly perky. She lays around until she sees me and then she's all over me wanting attention. I think she's got some fight left in her and I think treating the anemia would help. I don't know anything about anemia or feline cancer. I'm wondering if you all think that treating the anemia would help? Right now she has abdominal distention, so I don't know exactly what that means as far as how bad this situation is.
I forgot to add that the vet doesn't think it's necessary for me to bring Nani back in for a checkup. That tells me that the vet thinks Nani will die within the next few weeks or less.
