Something wrong with Taz...update #56

Oh gosh. I would definitely either get back to the vet, or if they do not give you satisfaction, go to another vet to get a 2nd opinion.

I hope it's nothing serious.

Big hugs to you and to Taz.

just a thought.. when I saw the pics I just thought it was that he ate too much too fast...

or maybe he´s allergic to something in the food... and that´s why it comes and goes....

hope they can help better with the pics you sent... keeping you in our thoughts

I understand what everyone is saying. I'll give my vet ONE more chance with Taz. If I'm not satisfied with the results I'll take him somewhere else.

Sister, what is the other thing you are thinking? It's okay tell me!! LOL Or you can call me tonight. Text me later!!

well he is 13 right..and unfortuantly cats when they get that age will almost always have kidney damage to some degree. i am thinking tumor...

i see this kind of thing ever day. if it is upper abdomen it could be and enlarged kidney/tumor or if lower ab it could be liver or spleen.

Ok, and will an xray determine that? Or do specific tests need to be ran?
His numbers were elevated slightly when he had his tests ran back in March. But now I can't remember which ones. I know I told you before it was his BUN, but I'll check my paperwork tonight.
Also, in case you check in on this.....I'm going to try and call you on my way home in two hours.

ETA: I just called my vet, since I hadn't heard back. Oh, the doctor is gone for the day and they are closed tomorrow. Because the second doctor in the office is out of the country.
