cellioThe good news is that Erik's ultrasound this morning did not show tumors. Yay! So probably no kitty cancer! Whew.
It did show that his gallbladder/bile duct seems to be blocked, and this morning he started showing jaundice. (On an orange cat with yellow eyes, I'm curious how one can tell. I guess I'll find out soon when I pick him up.) So I have a 4:00 appointment with a surgeon; if it's blocked they're going to take it out, which apparently has no negative consequences for the cat, and if it's not actually blocked they're going to do a biopsy to try to figure out what's really wrong. Given that description, I'm hoping for blocked so this will be over.
