[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1049397, member: 73592"] 34kg yesterday - so a 4 kg loss, which visibly has been the last month or so. Blood tests show a complete lack of proteins or cholesterols, along with some anaemia. It's now been 48 hours since she ate... anything at all. Vet wants to do an ultrasound and a camera-up-the-backside biopsy - to get a diagnosis... that wouldn't change the treatment plan. Treatment options are: High dose steroids - which may calm IBS, and may make her more comfortable if cancer - speed of reaction would be indicative of diagnosis. Chemotherapy (if cancer) - that wouldn't add much life, but would take away some quality Surgery (if cancer) - that she probably wouldn't recover from If she doesn't start eating, then she's only got days, regardless of the diagnosis (it's cancer - no way is this IBS, her body is eating itself and stealing protein from the muscles in order to feed the brain and tumour). If we can get her eating, then weeks, maybe into months. [/QUOTE]
