I guess regarding the ultrasound the old standby question to ask the vet: "What would you do if it was your cat?"

The ultrasound may show something treatable. If it's cancer, then keep him comfy and on some pred for swelling and love him.

He sure is a fighter! Hugs and prayers going out.

Thank you very much for the advice. I know for one thing that I will NOT give him chemo; that would be a selfish move on my part just to keep him with me a bit longer. I was thinking the same thing about asking the vet what THEY would do; thanks for reinforcing that idea for me. Appreciate it very much. And yes, he IS a fighter; he doesn't want to leave any more than I want him to!

Thank you so VERY much for your kind wishes; so far God has answered my prayers and those of my friends also here at home.

Checking back for an update, Barbiecat. Wondering how you and Koko are doing. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that he'll be able to come home and that you'll have some more time with him. I know how hard it is to watch our animals age. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Thank you, Koko continues to improve.

I love Rhode Island, used to "live" at Misquamicut as a child every Summer.

If it is cancer - and I hope not - I can tell you what I did for C.B. He was 18 and had a tumor on his nose between his eyes. I chose to have him get radiation. I knew well that it wouldn't cure him, but it did eventually make him more comfortable and possibly extend his life. Yes, it was expensive and I had to travel a bit for it, but I had to do what seemed right for him. He was blind which they said could have come from the radiation treatments, but I think the tumor and age started his blindness. When his brother passed at the age of 19 without cancer, he was blind then, too. My heart goes out to you. I'm believe you'll do for Koko whatever feels right for him and for you.
