Very very sad... My kitty was vomiting and had diarrhea and abdominal pain so I took her to the vet (this has happened 2 previous times). The vets that saw her before mentioned lymphoma (a form of cancer for those who don't know) but weren't at all sure and didn't suggest further testing, except one ultrasound that came up normal.

Well this vet felt her intestines and like the others felt that a part of them was thickened and this is an indication of lymphoma, but he was just a lot more emphatic about it than the others had been. I've been referred to an animal hospital a good ways away for a more sophisticated ultrasound.

I'm devastated that she may have this. I adore my Schnookie and have had her for 15 years... I don't usually pray, but I find myself praying that she will be okay.

And I've started already thinking of quality of life. The vet talked about all of these procedures to stage it, biopsy it, remove it and I think, she's 17 years old (I got her when she was 2), should I even put her through procedures and cancer treatment? I don't know. I just want her to be comfortable and happy. I don't want to put her through traumas at this age.

In the meantime I'll hope the ultrasound will come out normal and she just has chronic colitis, which sucks for her, but at least it's not cancer
