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!

We are so glad you are home Buddy Budd! We think your Dad is wise in that course of action, after all, they are not sure, and it may not be. That invasive stuff is super scary. We'll all keep sending purrs and prayers your way pal and lots of hugs to your Dad.
We are going to keep purring fur ya, Buddy Budd, really loud and fervent purrs.
Meowmy says she sends huge virtual hugs to your Dad too.
Good to know right now you are feeling good, and you made some nice selfies:)
We're so sorry to hear about our health condition, and you're in our thoughts.
The human is feeling the pain of pilling you ... she says we're a nightmare as well. Hugs to all of you!
So sorry to hear about your health ... no one likes pills. In fact, a furiend who is also being given pills had her staff threaten to design a straight jacket for cats.
We hope you will feel better and better with each passing day Buddy and that it isn't the dreaded C word! We know how difficult this on your Dad too so we are sending him lots of support and encouragement!

Hope you feel even better everyday!

I am glad you are feeling better, Buddy. You will be in my prayers that you continue feeling good and enjoying life. Prayers for your Dad, too, because I know it can be scary and worrisome to not really know what's going on with your health. You sure do look handsome in these selfies!
We're glad you're feeling better, Buddy, but sad that the news from the vet was not better. We love you, and will keep on purring and praying, okay?

We may be awol Buddy but we are here to say we are glad you are home..that pancreas stuff has been a problem here with Doc..nasty boogers they are and we think Dad is doing a good thing in how to manage your health..stay happy and healthy Buddy Bud..loves Fozziemum xx
Awww, Buddy, we are SO SORRY to hear that you may have cancer. :( We understand your dad's decision to not do the biopsy. The Mom decided not to do one on Carmine, either. In his case, they wanted to do one to confirm the pancreatitis, but like your dad said, the surgery is major, and the Mom didn't want to put Carmine through that since they were pretty positive he has pancreatitis (and the treatment is working!). Please hang in there, dear one, and please let the Mom know if we can do anything to help, okay? Sending lots of purrs, prayers, hugs, and love. <3

We'll keep thinking about you, Buddy Budd, and keep reading for updates. The best of luck to you.
sending tons of purrs and prayers to you Buddy!! xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody
Buddy, I will not cease purring and praying for you precious boy.
Love you lots my dear Buddy Budd and Neytiri and I have been purring lots for you and we are continuing to send prayers and good healing thoughts in your direction.
If we can help in any way, you shout OK? Tell your Dad his decision not to do the surgery is a good one, especially iffen you would come out of it worser than you went in. These things are stressful for you and your Dad, we WISH we could be there for more support, but, know you have our LOVE and our HOPES for good things for you.

I hate cancer. I really do. I'm sorry to hear that this isn't a condition that can be treated without making kitty's quality of life so much worse. You've made a very difficult decision, and I'm proud of you for it. I hope if something similar every happens to my cats, I'll be brave enough to do the same.
