[quote=Anonymous]I got the call from the vet today that no one wants to receive. I had taken my 11 year-old-cat in for his annual checkup and because he had dropped weight in the last month. The vet thought it was hyperthyroidism but it turned out to be a malignant tumor on his liver that has metastasized to his lymph nodes, or vice versa. I'll get the final report tomorrow from the senior vet but the vet who did the MRI/ultrasound said he would not operate because it would be too traumatic for the cat and the cancer was too far spread for surgery to be of use. The cat looks, acts, plays, purrs, eats, and drinks just as he always has. You would never think he was sick. Has anyone gone through this before? What should I expect? A wasting away until a time when the cat just looks like it's in so much pain that I must put him to sleep? How fast?[/quote]
