Thank you "a Tail of 2 Kitties",
Your kitties are beautiful. Thanks for your reply. It all makes a lot of sense. Yes, the Vet did say that she handled the mass and manipulated, and this may have also caused him pain and feeling sick. I just worried that all that happened that exam may have jump started or progressed his disease much more rapidly. I know I have to let him go. It's been three months since he crossed the RB. Thanks you so much for your words of advice.
