Wolf came home today and ended up going back to be checked on tonight.
He was panting.  My vet palpated his belly and there was no pain there,
his foot was swollen where I found he still had his bandage on, (I didn't
even notice the bandage).  He was checked over, given pain meds,
injectible antibiotic and she made sure he ate (1/2 jar of baby food).
His temp is up to 102 and hopefully the foot is causing the problem and
not something else.  She put cold compress on it which I will do a couple
times tonight.  Wolf is not out of the woods, he has bruising where the
incision on his belly is.  My vet said it could be DIC (disseminated
intrvascular coagulation) which means he could throw a clot.  His
biopsies came back and he has the rare form of insolinoma which is
invasive.  He has it in his mesentery lymph node.  I do not know what
will happen from here and can only take it a day at a time.  One good
sign is that he wants to eat and his stools look good.  It is all up to
Wolf now and I pray he will pull through and have at least a couple of
months with a decent quality of life.  If not, I know we all did our
very best to help him.
 
He is in the top level (single floor, no ramps, etc) of a Martins cage
in a nice, extra big warm fleece sleeping bag, next to our bed, so my
husband and I can listen for anything unusual.  I brought his cagemate in
for a minute to visit just so they both know their cagemates are still
there for them.
 
Will keep you posted.
