Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 They have told me multiple times that his symptoms "could be cancerous" and they seem to be trying to avoid talking about that until they know for sure as to not freak me out (due to the very poor prognosis) but the more I think about it the more a ruptured tumor could make sense as to why he all of a sudden collapsed.. I feel like the emergency clinic suspected hemangiosarcoma and that is why they ultrasounded to see if there was fluid buildup around the heart+abdomen, but as my diseases Professor says "animals dont read the textbook" and dont always have all/some/any of the symptoms that you usually would see with the disease. I absolutely feel like it is harder to not know the diagnosis... As I watch him get a little weaker/slower every day it doesnt seem fair to not be treating him to make him feel better or at least be preparing for him to go... but theres no treatment we can provide until we know what were treating for and there is no way that I will let go of him unless we confirm that its all downhill from here and he'll just be suffering.. I noticed yesterday that even his milkbone eating has slowed down what used to be a 3 second crunch now takes about 1 minute REALLY hoping to get a call from OSU soon regarding his bone marrow biopsy appointment..

4My2Greys Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't know how you would feel about using it, but if it is HSA I have some Yunnan Baiyao left over from when Bruiser had it, that your welcome to. It helped slow down bleeds and helped him recover quicker when he had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJNg Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 REALLY hoping to get a call from OSU soon regarding his bone marrow biopsy appointment.. If he's getting weaker, I wouldn't be waiting for a call... Can't you call them to make the appointment, or at least call to let the vets there know he's getting worse so they can try to expedite things?

Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Just ran into Neko's clinician at work here at OSU today in surgery, I updated her on Neko's condition and she said they are getting the machinery prepared to get neko's coagulopathy research going, and she will know tomorrow when I should bring neko in (possibly tomorrow evening). they are for sure going to do the bone marrow biopsy then, and she said that my little conspiracy theory (lol) of hemangiosarcoma was not crazy talk and is very possible, however they did not find any masses (that are showing themselves at this time) when they did their last ultrasound. She is leaning towards bone marrow cancer right now, however no one has any definitive ideas because his case does not fit cookie-cutter with any disease... And an update on Neko's personal life, he was very playful today! For the first time in about a month he was racing around the house and playing tug with me with his stuffed bunny. Nice to see him in happy spirits it makes me feel less bad about taking so long to figure out whats going on with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Still waiting for the word to make the next appointment, but in the meantime neko seems like he feels amazing! He was chomping at the bit on our walk today and even wanted to race after a kitty he saw in a field. When we got home he was chasing his toy bunny around for quite a while. Itll be interesting to see if his pcv has improved or maybe he started regenerating?? Im curious to find out. Ill update his medical news as soon as we get the okay to bring him in.
