Savannah Super Cat
My 2 year old F2 male has an intestinal tumor. In the last couple of months, he has gone from 10.5lbs to 8lbs. He does not want to eat much, sometimes throws up and only passes a small amount of watery stool. We took him to the vet, who sent us to the specialist. He had x-ray and ultrasound done, and fine needle aspirate. There is a mass that you can feel, it is seen on x-ray and ultrasound. They said his lymph nodes and spleen are swollen. But the cytology result from the aspirate was inconclusive - they want to do surgery to find out what it is. I am looking for suggestions because what already has been done has cost a ton of money and I don't know if I should do the surgery or not. Is there a chance that it could be benign, and the cat would recover if the tumor was removed? Or do they most often die anyway?
Right now we are trying to find things he will eat and can keep down. Sometimes he eats cooked turkey or chicken with supplements (vitamins, calcium, taurine) and sometimes he steals the food from the other cat and throws it up.
