...or lymphoma.
My cat, Meagan, is 9 years old, and she originally was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis, which after four months of tubefeeding without her able to eat on her own with consistency indicated something else was wrong. I took her to a cat specialist who tried a round of steroids thinking it might be IBD, which she did better on. But her liver functions weren't better....but worse. They did a fancy test and said she likely had pancreatitis, too.
So, she recommended exploratory surgery to biopsy her organs. I'm awaiting the results on Monday but since the surgery, my cat has been so listless and nauseous that she can't keep much food down at all. (She was eating on her own and I was feeding her 180 ml of food through the tube prior to the surgery.)
The doc thinks she has either feline triaditis or lymphoma. And I'm at my wits end.
Any advice from someone who has experience with this type of situation would be greatly appreciated.
She's my first cat and my baby, and I'm so exhausted.
