So after struggling with the assumed IBD, Plushy took a turn for the worse. He was refusing to eat which is totally unlike him. I took him in today and the vet felt a mass which she thought might be lymphosarcoma and said he was very dehydrated and had urea smell to his breath which might indicate CRF. They did xrays and blood work. Good news is there is no sign of renal failure, his kidneys look good. However, the xray results were "bazaar". She said she didn't think it was cancer bc it didn't appear to be a soft tissue mass. She said it looks like a calcified mass. It is located in his "cranial abdomen" which she explained is the upper part of the abdomen. She said her and the other doc couldn't tell if it was inside or outside of the digestive tract so they are going to do exploratory surgery tomorrow and remove the mass if possible.
Has anyone dealt with this in the past? Does anyone know what is all included in cranial abdomen? She mentioned that the area she felt the mass in was near the stomach and liver. The surgery essence necessary because he would die without it as no food can pass. I am devastated for my kitty and need some good vibes.
