My Tiger's not well too.

His kidney and liver values are good (at least for the CRF-cat that he is), and his heart is good too.

This doesn't sound good, as the next possibility can hardly be anything else than a tumor :-( Nanny While this doesn't sound good, there could be any number of reasons for fluid build-up, that are not caused by a tumor. Purrs that this is true for Tiger. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Even if it's a tumor, that doesn't mean it's malignant, but I can understand your being worried. Poor kitty, I hope he's not too uncomfortable. Please keep us posted about his condition. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
