I am copying & pasting this from Facebook:
I just got home from taking Twinkle to the vet. She hasn't been acting like herself lately. She's lost weight. She only weighs 9 pounds & 11 ounces now. She hasn't been that thin since I adopted her. Her calcium is high. She's got tiny stones in her bladder & she's got larger than normal lymph nodes in her abdomen. The vet said there's a chance that she has Lymphoma. Honestly, I have been wondering if she does has cancer. The vet switched her food to Hill's c/d Multicare Prescription. We are going to give her 4-6 weeks or so on the new food & give her an adjustment/break period from the vet since he did do ALOT of stuff to her today before we schedule a special needle aspiration procedure to test her for sure to see if she does have Lymphoma. The vet is also going to check out her bladder stones again at that time. I thought I might get bad news, but I was not expecting all this. She'll be 14 on 1/4/19. I'm really going to focus on Christmas & her upcoming birthday since it may very well be the last one she has.

Awww we will keep you in our purrs and prayers. I know when Macy had all of his stone issues he lost allot of weight, probably due to not eating as much due to the pain. I can't remember if he had lymph node swelling though. We will keep you in our thoughts.

Thanks for the prayers & purrs everyone & everyfur. I am eating my new dry food like a little piglet Mommy said. I'm not really eating my wet food though. Mommy is going to try to get some other urinary food to mix in it a bit & see how that turns out. I haven't pooped much lately though. Mommy is going to get some stuff to try to help me with that. My days are mixed. Some are much better than others. We just need to give things a bit more time. I'll keep posting updates here.

I am now eating wet food now that Mommy is mixing in the other urinary food. I was just sick of eating only two flavors of food all the time. I pooped before Mommy even got home. She got some fiber to put in my food. I'm doing pretty good right this minute, but I do have ups & downs.

I slept with Mommy last night. That's weird, because I haven't done that since Thanksgiving. I did poop again yesterday. All I have wanted to do this morning is hide though. Mommy tells me that I am acting weird. We'll see how this progresses.

I have been hiding most of the day. I did take a nap for a while. I haven't eaten or drank anything since this morning. I'm out now, but I just want to stay in one place for a while & then I'll run someplace else & just sit or lay there for a while before I decide to run someplace else to sit for a while. I don't seem to feel good at all today. Mommy has felt tired herself today, so maybe part of that is rubbing off on me. She's been really overworked & is glad for her 4 day break from work. I guess I just need some time. I really haven't exactly been myself ever since I got home from the vet, but today has been especially bad/weird. Mommy is hoping that leaving me alone is the right thing to do. I guess pawrents just don't know what to do sometimes & they just pray they are doing the right thing. The bad thing about the holidays is that most doctor's offices for both humans & animals aren't open. We sure hope we don't have to go back to that Emergency Pet Clinic that gave Mommy that horrible news about me before that turned out not to be totally true & upset everyone!

I'm not doing too good. I will get up to potty & I am eating some wet food now. I was so miserable yesterday that I was hissing & acting like I had lost my mind according to Mommy. I am in pain. Mommy gave me my pain medicine, but it's not helping like usual. We just hope this is just a temporary setback like when humans have days when they just feel crummy for whatever reason for a day or two, but then suddenly snap out of it. I did lay next to Mommy a few minutes ago & let her pet me. I wouldn't let her near me yesterday, eat or anything, so that is progress. We are playing the waiting game.
