I have a 13 yr old male cat. A blood test on him (1st time the cat had a
blood test) tells that an enzyme in his blood is very high due to the
pancreas not working properly, possibly pancreatic cancer. The normal level
for this enzyme is 300-1100, his level has varied during his 3 blood tests
from 2400-3600. Problem is that he shows no signs of being ill. No weight
loss, no appetite loss, no loss of energy, no problems in the litterbox, so
the vet recommended a specialist. The vet is a very young girl, maybe 1st yr
practicing.

Any other possibilities beside cancer of pancreas that could cause this?

This basically means that the cat is too old to make a viable sandwich,
better to skin it for cat crepes, you can use the guts to scare the
neighbor kids, they obviously need it.

Bob, I'm sorry I don't know anything about it, but thought you may wanna
post this to alt.med.veterinary. Perhaps some vet there could shed some more
light 4 ya.

Best wishes to you both
