Oh I'm so glad he came through it well!!! Let's hope the tests come back with benign for the lymph node, and plain old IBD for the bowel.

Smoochies Mr. Meow!!!

Jen, I'm glad to hear that Mr. Meow's surgery went well and I hope that the biopsy results will be good ones. Hopefully he'll now remain a happy and healthy cat for many more years to come. Please give him some hugs and kisses for me.

One thing about IBD testing. When Starr had his done he had only been on a very small amount of pred for a short period of time and I had to stop giving it to him for a week before his surgical biopsy. My vet said that if he had been taking a higher doseage of pred then we'd have to wait for a while before doing the biopsy because the pred would interfere with the biopsy results. Hopefully the depo shots won't do the same thing. Good luck.

Lets see if I can answer all the questions..........

YES = he has pain meds.

He has only eats soft food (meow mix market select, to be exact). The boy will simply not eat anything else!

I know the steroid will affect some test results, we had to do the ultrasound before he started his depo shots. But if you want my gut feeling, it is not IBD.

Glad Mr. Meow is home under your loving care. Hope he heals quickly and bounces back from this. Still praying for this sweet boy!

Wishing your gorgeous boy all the best.

I'm so relieved to know that all went well and Mr. Meow is home snuggling with his Meowmie, exactly where he should be! Sending lots of scritchies and lovies! Prayers continue to be prayed for good test results.
