sorry to hear that - I had a similar thing with my 14 yr old Burmese a couple of months ago, her tummy was getting swollen with fluid and she had lost a lot of weight, she was also slightly jaundiced - vet suspected a tumour, but after treatment with steroids and diuretics, the fluid disappeared and has not come back so far......... Rosa is still very thin, but she does eat reasonably well. My vet does not have a scanner so we haven't been able to do any further diagnostic tests, her blood test was more or less normal. I suppose we won't have much longer with Rosa, but while she is still eating and reasonably bright, we will take each day as it comes.
Surely your cat could at least have steroid / diuretic treatment to reduce the fluid and make him more comfortable?





QUOTE=scratcher;350452]Hi Jasperlou,
Thanks for responding. Mine had ultrasound and bloods on Tuesday but sadly prognosis bad. Cancer was diagnosed (liver) and unfortunately nothing at all vet can do for him so we've brought him home until he gets too bad. He's not touching his usual food or fancies but nibbling lots of chicken and milk instead; looks real sad with his shaved tummy and bare patches where he had his tests and belly looks ready to explode, but he still doesn't seem to be in pain we're just looking after him for a while longer. Crossed fingers your cat's results come back good x[/QUOTE]
