| Prayers need for Max Max is our DS 15 year old cat. Monday evening he felt a lump under his chin. My vet tech DIL took him into work this morning so our vet could check him out. It is a swollen lymph node and they suspect an infection of some sort. They also found that one of his kidneys is enlarged and he was dehydrated. They did sub-q fluids to re-hydrate him. I am dropping him off in the morning for a complete blood panel to see what is going on. They say it could be onset renal failure or could just be the infection that is causing the kidney to be enlarged. Someone set Max out when he was just a 6 week old kitten and he ended up on our porch. He has been our sons best buddy since that day. I just hope it an infection but at his age I know that it could be anything. Here is a pic of Max I just took tonight. He has really slowed down in the last year or so and just mostly sleeps and eats. Photo05031840 (475x356).jpg

| Thanks guys! Max is really a sweet cat. He has the best personality and it is so sad to see him aging so rapidly.

| Max stayed at the vet office all day today. They did a complete blood panel on him and there are several issues going on. He is anemic and has an infection going on. Good news is the kidneys look good other than one being a little enlarged. He had several things that were high on his blood work and a couple of things were low one of them being his red blood cells. He was given an antibiotic shot of Convenia and was put on Lixontinic to build his red blood cells up and carafate because the vet thinks that he may be loosing blood through the intestines and they may be irritated (due to the way I told him he has been eating the last week or so). We go back in 3 weeks to have blood work done again to see if his anemia is any better. I can't remember what he called it but it was some kind of lymphoma (I am not sure if that was the exact word he used) in the intestines, which he said is common in cats this old. He went over all of the abnormal results on the blood work but I am not sure which one was what?? Something that was high he said was a good sign that it meant the red blood cells were being regenerated. Thanks for all the prayers it looks like we will still need them. I was hoping for just an infection and at his age I am not sure that treatment if it is lymphoma would give Max quality life at his age.
