Fierce Fitz Friday: Because I...

Update on Buddy Budd: Big Blue is still eating more than before his trip to the vet. We hope it continues till he is due for his next steroid and antibiotic shots. He comes to Dad for pets and gets his purr motor going. This morning he was navigating the cat walk and staked a claim for a nice cleaning session. Hopefully we will be able to say all our thank mews by this weekend. Please keep the purrs and prayers coming, they work!

Buddy's Sunday Selfie

Hello dere mah furens. Ah back frum dat ol'vet and ah feeling betteh fur-sure. Ah let mah Dad tell ya.

First I want to acknowledge all the support we have received. This is an amazing community that gives freely to those need. We are proud to be a part of it, again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Update: Buddy's ultrasound showed that his pancreas is swollen and nodular when it should be smooth. It is mostly very dark but has lighter areas. He has thickening of the mesentery (connective tissue,) around his intestine and swollen lymph nodes. The vet was not positive but thinks cancer.

The next step would have been to get a biopsy. This would be a major surgery as there is so much involvement. If during the exploratory they found cancer it would be difficult to remove. 

We have decided on conservative treatment. Buddy is very, very difficult to medicate. If he will not eat one of my treat coated pills there will be blood, lots of it, mine. He was given Covenia a long acting antibiotic and a long acting steroid Depo-Mederol.

Hey Dad'z yoo sayed e-nuff ok. Whew dat man-human can gab. 
So ya got da medical stuffs. Main ting is dat ah feeling gud, gud, gud. Ah eatin lotz more den ah have bin an ah enjoyin life. Dat most impawtent.
You really are looking good Buddy. 
Aww, I lufs yoo Dad!
I love you too Buddy!

Buddy Budd needs your Support

Our Buddy needs Purrs and Prayers Please!
The Story so far:
Last year Buddy was diagnosed with Hyperthyroid and started on medication which brought it under control very quickly. Then mid-Jan he started eating less. Dad coaxed him with treats and fancy feast which worked for awhile. Then he really stopped eating so Dad started a course of Mirtazepine. 
Dad looked it up online and saw a lot of negative info on the doses that Vets would give in their Rx's. Other cat parents suggested a 1/8 tab (Tab = 15mg) dose. Buddy is super hard to pill so Dad used a syringe with the bit of pill (very hard to handle because it was so little) and warm water. After an epic struggle (Buddy is STILL very strong) and some blood loss (Dads) he got the dose. 
He was ready to eat in 10 min so we were all happy. Next over 2 weeks it stopped working. Dad upped the dose, no side effects, but, less appetite. 
Dad was worried about kidney failure so off to the vet yesterday for blood work, Dad also asked that they give him a dose of Mirtazepine and take an x-ray to make sure there was nothing growing or a blockage anywhere. 
Buddy came home (Dads friend took him as Dad works) and 15 min later the vet called. 
She said his labs show good thyroid numbers and a healthy kidney profile, BUT, Pancreatitis. 
They want him back tomorrow for an ultrasound and "Medical support" so he will stay there a few days. Dad is sick with worry. Buddy has been coming in to sleep with Dad purring away as he lays on him so he is still enjoying life.Please send purrs and prayers

We love our Big Blue Buddy Budd
