Thanks so much for your support, guys, it's really appreciated.
Dean has phoned, and it's not as grim as I (and he) originally thought.
Roxy's has inflamation of the pancreas. The liver is "p*ssed off" (Dean's words) but the liver is not the primary problem - it's just suffering from a knock on effect, and is not very serious.
She can be fixed - it will take a few weeks, but she's going to be ok. I was pleasantly surprised - I told Dean that I thought it was cancer, and he said that he thought that too. There's no evidence of it - her calcium levels are good. Her Hypo-T needs the meds upping slightly from 0.2mg to 0.3mg which is not a problem.
All of this explains the lack of weight loss recently.
I have to stop the Metacam tomorrow, and go and get some steroidal drugs for her instead.
Once again, the Duchess has avoided that final journey.
You go, girl........
