Something wrong with Taz...update #56

[GSDOG]

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.
So, the girl reassured me that my email is on the top of the list and will be the first thing she sees when she comes in on Monday. Grrrr!!

Hi mom, I am sorry you go through this. How about starting to call around tomorrow for another good vet, if you want to wait until Monday? It may make you feel better...just a thought.
