Vader. May the force be with him - always.
Although there is no cure for this disease, we are fortunate enough to be in a state where treatment is an option and may slow down the progression of symptoms and improve his quality of his life.
He was admitted into our local pet hospital today for treatment and I hope with all of my heart that he responds favorably. I may consider setting up a donation site where friends and family can help contribute to his on-going medical costs if the treatment looks as though it will prolong his life by a few more years. If not, my husband and I will make the humane decision to have him euthanized before his condition becomes far too unbearable to cope with.
Thank you for allowing me to share this sensitive information with you. I'll post updates as they develop.

He's responding well to fluids and his BUN and Creatinine levels are coming back down which is a really good sign --- but he's refusing to eat and throwing up bile which is bad. My husband and I will be visiting him again tomorrow so maybe he'll feel a bit more comfortable eating with us around. We'll bring him some shredded rotisserie chicken (one of his favorite foods) and if that doesn't work, I've learned that baby food can be a great alternative for sick kitties. The most important thing at the moment is that we get some food --- any kind of food into his system. I'll also bring along our electric blanket and see if that helps with his pain.

Re: Vader. May the force be with him - always.
Vader was such a sweet and loving soul, nothing at all like his namesake would imply. Anyone who had the chance to meet him instantly fell in love with him. His memory will live on in the hearts of many. I'm only sorry I could not do more.
He was responding favorably to treatment, however, the damage that was done due to his unwillingness to eat was truly devastating. X-rays and ultrasound showed unidentifiable blockages in his abdominal and intestinal cavities which may or may not have been treatable without exploratory surgery. It was not known if he'd even survive the surgery. In addition to this, he was going to need a feeding catheter placed through his neck and many, many expensive rounds of medication and treatment to help keep him going (if we were lucky). My husband and I wanted nothing more than to stop the pain and suffering -- so we took him home yesterday night, allowed everyone to take their time saying goodbye, and brought him back to the vet today for the procedure.
I'll love you always my sweet baby! A piece of my heart will always belong to you.
