Default Inflammatory Bowel

He was originally treated for Inflammatory Bowel and nothing was working, that went on for about 2 months or so. When nothing helped at all, we were sent to a Referral Service (specialist) to have a scope done (colonoscopy). Before they did the colonoscopy, they did an ultrasound and that is when they found how thick his intestines were. Based on how thick they were and where it was located, they determined that they didn't need to do the scope because the scope wouldn't go that far anyway. Due to the thickness, it was said that he had cancer. He was expected to live about 1 month. It has now been 6 months and not much has changed with him other than him getting thin. He is very boney now, he started at nearly 8.5 pounds and he is now 7.0 pounds. The vet who saw him this time is the head vet (and owner) and he is the one who thinks that the referral service may be wrong. He is trying to get more info from them.
