Bless you while you go thru this struggle to get answers.



I didn't see ultrasound mentioned in your list of tests. PHKitKat mentioned it. My cat has a brain swelling/tumor that doesn't show up in blood-work, urine, or in X-Rays. There are items only an ultrasound or MRI can show... I am not suggesting your cat has the same problems my cat does, but want to point out that there are further tests and not everything shows in the simplest and most common initial tests (blood, urine, X-Ray).



Here is a link to the Cornell consultation line that I have used before and found EXCELLENT. Usually you call them and speak to a specialist in a field on a diagnosis that is tricky and you need more info on. For instance, one of my cats had a rarer form of cancer and I spoke for over an hour to a Oncologist that specialized only in cat cancer. I actually had to hang up on him. The relatively low call-in fee is more than worth the expertise.
