My cat Friskey recently became very sick all of a sudden. I took her to the multiple clinics and finally ended up at the U of I small animal clinic where they did an ultrasound. Basically, in a nutshell, all her blood work and other tests came back fairly normal with the exception being a very elevated wbc count (42,000). But she does not have an elevated temperature. The only clinical signs she is showing is lethargy and vomiting, but that has subsided in the past day. The ultrasound reveled a small nodule on her liver, but her liver enzymes are normal. The next best step (or so they say) is a biopsy of the liver and small intestine. I don't know what to do, if I should go ahead with the surgery or what. Oh and my cat is 16 by the way. And this was really sudden, before this all she had was slight renal failure and borderline hyperthyroidism. Otherwise she was very healthy and active...I am very distraught over this.
