The outlook for Jasper is not good. He has lost 2 pounds in the last 17 days. He still will not eat. And the poop is just dripping out of him.

The vet did an xray today. She sees thickening in the bowel. And possibly something around the kidney.

An ultrasound is the only way to kow for sure, but all the signs (and my person experience, and the vet's opinion) is lymphoma. CANCER

If we were to attempt to trat the cancer (as in Mr. Meow's case) we would use depo injections. But Jasper reacted very badly to his depo, AND it has not helped.

There are no other FEASIBLE options. The vet sent him home with some oral pred, to try (but I am certain I tried that before we did the depo). We are doing a higher dosage. But I fear that terrible decision is ahead of me.

DAMN! He's just a babe of 9 years old. How unfair is that??

Gotta go break down now.
