Hypercalcemia in two cats with multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a rare malignancy in cats. While hypercalcemia is reported frequently in association with myeloma in humans and dogs, it has not been reported in cats. Two cats with hypercalcemia and multiple myeloma were treated with alkylating agents and corticosteroids. One cat was a long-term (16 months) survivor.
