So my ig hasn't been eating and since he has noticeably losing weight I took him to the vet today. They felt a mass around his stomach area so they gave him an enema and tube fed him some high fiber food to see if it could be pushed out. No good. So they took an xray and did an ultrasound free of charge (the ultrasound not the xray). There was a mass but they were unable to tell what it was. The possibilities range from hemotoma, impaction, or cancer (which would be unusual because he's only three).
However, when I got home, they called and said they noticed on the xray they saw something as possible ovarian follicles (I think that's what they said. I'm not brushed up in anatomy) and were going to get a second opinion from the doctor that has more experience. If Precious does turn out to be a she (despite large femoral pores) they said s/he was showing all the signs of ovarian disease which could be treated with either a hormone-depressing shot or just a spay and they generally recover very well. I'm crossing my fingers for female. Precious also has enlarged kidneys but they aren't sure yet if he has the beginnings of renal disease.
Edit: I forgot to add they also did some SQ fluids to rehydrate him since he hasn't been eating.
