Hello everyone.
 
I would like to thank everyone that replied to my questions about
Stagediver's condition.  As it turns out it has been a pretty busy time
since I last posted.  Last Wedensay I took her to the Vet.  It turns out
unfortunately, that he did say that Lymphoma was a extreme possiblity.  He
said that i should be extremely angry at the Vet at home for not even
checking out the possibility of the tumor.  I am not exactly pleased at the
turn of events.
 
As it happens, Today she went in for surgery.  She had the tumor on her
stomach removed, and part of her one of her Lymph nodes.  They will be sent
out for a biopsy and then we'll try to find out what exactly is the problem.
I am hoping for, if it is lymphoma, that it is benign.  There was a question
of how risky the surgery would be due to her age, but she seems to have come
through it fine.  The vet wasn't sure about how quickly she would recover,
but she started going for the honey bottle as soon as she got out of the
carrier.  I think she will be doing just fine.=).
 
I am hoping for the best results possible.
 
Oh..  and the question the the Low-Fat food that i have been feeding her.
The Iams low activity cat food has 14% crude fat, so it doesn't fall below
what is a good amount of fat for the babies, though it does not have the 22%
of the kitten chow that she was previously given.  I think i will be
combining the two of them from now on.  Thank you for the concern.
 
Sarah (glad her furbee is doing alright)
