Thank you, Cheryl. And the vet even referenced our Ellie girl who almost died in February as a "miracle dog" (same thing, with her liver so full of tumors, they didn't expect her to make it long at all...here we are 8 months later and she seems very happy still). He is a very kind man and almost started crying today. Simba has no signs (on labwork) whatsoever of diabetes or kidney issues, which is in itself quite a feat for a cat her age. She has always been a healthy, happy little cat aside from her "kitty Crohn's" type episodes.
