No cancer!!!!!
The vet's suspicions were right, Bear has Cholangiohepatitis and Pancreatitis. One of his bile ducts are very swollen, but the vet sounded hopeful! Bear's other organs look great! He said Bear gaining weight was great news, he weights 8.5 now (last weigh-in was 7.1lbs) which is close to normal for him! The vet said that he is going to keep Bear on the same meds, and wants me to take him back in 2 weeks for bloodwork. He also said that since Bear has been hanging on for so long, that he thinks Bear may be able to beat this!
I was almost in tears on the way to the vet, thinking about so many people are helping Bear! I really appreciate all of your help, I am speechless at everyone's kindness! This is amazing!
Bear had to fast today for the ultrasound, so when he got home he gobbled up 1/2 cup of chicken on his own! He even ate a few pieces of Iams!!!
We just collected enough money to pay off the ultrasound!!!!!!!!! I can't even believe it! I may need some help paying for the bloodwork/meds in 2 weeks, I am trying to see if a family member can help with it. Everyone has already done more than enough to help us!
Here is a pic I took of him after we got home today:
