Lymphoma of the bowel (poop mentioned)

Has anyone had a cat with this? If so, did you see changes in your
cat's stool? The reason I'm asking is that I suspect my cat Peewee
has this and has had some weird stool issues - small, hard and dark,
othertimes more normal looking but still hard and smallish. Yes, he
has been to the vet - two, including a feline specialist, in fact. I
chose not to do exploratory surgery/biopsy to properly diagnose him.
He is acting fine in all other ways, though he is on a routine
treatment for constipation. I'm just wondering if this is a symptom
of lymphoma.

Thanks,
-L.

My sister's cat had IBD which progressed to lymphoma. What she mentioned was
that the stool was loose and foul smelling.

I have to concur with Gail, lymphoma poop is loose and VERY foul smelling.
It is probably the worst thing I have ever smelled. Your cat's poop might
be indicative of another illness. Have you tried a change in diet? Maybe
add some wet food, and perhaps try a high-fiber dry food too.
