after making several bloodtests, an ultrasound and an x-ray, the diagnose of his sickness was not given and it could still be many forms of cancer, an infection or whatever. (infection like hämobartonellen were suggested from specialists i contacted at the the www.poose.de homepage - glad i found them, they kick ass....unfortunately this site is only in german...). His blood counts were not good, so there is no real biopsy possible, but they can probably make a fine-needle-aspiration without too much risk. I have an appointment on wednesday and hope that there is a diagnosis possible that can determine which kind of palliative and life prolonging , although non-curative treatment is an option.

Hold thumbs for my sweetheart. I have learned how to give him his infusions, on days where he does not eat too well i have to additionally give him a ringer infusion with electrolytes and stuff so he does not dehydrate. After one and a half week he started eating again and runs around and seems to be better and happier. and almost llike usual....

I've told you about how we converted all of our cats and dogs to a raw-food diet after our two most-recent cats arrived with FIP, right?

The good news is that one of the two lived thru the infection and they are all much healthier now.
