Re: Intestine Tumour
Have you asked your vet whether chemo is an option? Some tumours respond very well to chemo and cats do not suffer effects from it as we do. That said it is very expensive if he isn't insured. You could ask your vet to speak to the Animal Health Trust, they have a specialist oncology unit that would be able to advise your vet as to whether there were other options available to you.
My friends siamese was diagnosed with lymphatic sarcoma. Its very common in young siamese, but is one of the cancers that responds really well to chemo. Her vet told her all they could do for him was steroids and palliative care. If she had not heard of other cats being treated she would never have known about it, and instead of being a healthy 4 yr old with no cancer, he would not have seen his 2nd birthday.
Thats one cancer that does respond well to chemo, they don't all, so it may not be an option, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Good luck, your Baby is lucky to have such a caring Mum. Btw if he has recently come back from the vets that maybe why your other cat is being funny towards him, he will smell funny.
