Gina ~ Halo will be seeing Dr. Nelson Priddy who was recommended as a specialist in liver tumors as well as heart problems. Although Halo doesn't appear to have any heart problems, the enzyme that is sky high in her blood CAN be the result of a heart attack. Halo hasn't had a heart attack as far as anyone can tell. But does indicate muscles problems and since the heart is a muscle....

Halo's always been very careful when she runs and jumps. She was always having to "muscle it out" when she jumped up somewhere high. She'd jump as far as she could, catch the top with her front paws and pull herself the rest of the way up. We were originally told that this could be the result of her having kittens when she was so small. She walks with her back legs spread apart and kind of waddles. She also hops like a bunny with her back legs. We always thought these quirks were cute, but they may indicate muscle problems.

Halo's tumor was found during a routine exam. To investigate further, her vet ordered the blood tests. When the very high numbers came in he ordered the x-rays. That's when the tumor was found and the "thickening" of the lower intestines.
