Purrs for Smokey, please

Our Smokey is spending the weekend at the Vet. He had been "off his
feed" for about a week and was very listless. His normally full and
shiny coat was starting to take on a shaggy appearance (definitely not
normal). Wife took him the the Vet on Friday. They gave him some sort
of Vitamin B shot (they said that might perk him up). The vet also did
palpate a "mass" on examination and did a needle biopsy for pathology.

Sounds ominous. I hope we're not about to lose another beloved RPCA kitty.
Please post as soon as you can about the biopsy result. Purrs will continue
unabated....

They wanted to keep him overnight so they could continue to keep an eye
on him. The vet called back this morning and said the Vitamin B shot
had the desired effect of making him more alert (he was purring at them
for attention) but since they don't have the pathology report they want
to keep him to monitor his status until the path report comes back.

Smokey's 17YO now so purrs that he can pull through this would be
greatly appreciated.

The gang is purring up a storm and those of us who cannot purr send
