Well Peterson is home but not a definate diagnosis yet. She took him to a specialist today who at first thought it was lymphoma but after the ultrasound and looking at his blood work, and xrays he wasn't so sure. so they shaved his belly and did an ultrasound. His liver is very very hard so the new vet took 3 biopsies of his liver and will have the pathology report on Saturday. He gave my daughter his card with his home phone to call and get the results. In the meantime, he is on steriods plus 2 other meds and they have to get him to eat even if it means force feeding him. the vet said he could eat anything as long as they get some food into him. He loves tapioca pudding and yogurt so he did eat about 2 spoonsful of pudding this afternoon. If need be, they may have to put in a feeding tube until he starts eating again. I was over to see him just a little while ago and he has lost a lot of weight (but he could afford to lose it, he was very big). Ohter than than, he looks good and seemed to be comfortable. he was using his scratching post. It is so good to have him back home but so far since Sunday, she has paid the 3 vets almost $900. Thanks for all the prayers. Everyone has been asking about him, so I wanted to let you all know that he is doing ok for right now. lets just pray that he will continue to get better and stronger and back to his normal self. As the vet said, he is so young to be having all these problems.
