Hi everyone. Tuesday evening while everyone was out for nail trimings, play time, and cage cleanings I noticed Buzz didn't come out to play. I picked him up and he was like a little rag doll. I skipped his nail trimings and just cuddled him for a bit, while cuddling I felt a lump in his tummy area, but higher up. I though it might be an obstruction so I gave him a good dolup of laxative and .2cc of pred (insulanoma) just in case, and thought he would be better in the morning. Morning came, not much change. I have been watching him and he just seemed to be getting worse. Last night I decided he was going to the vet's on Saturday, I couldn't sleep all night and kept checking on him, I'm glad I did. I took him in this morning instead. He wasn't eatting and was dehydrated. The vet (god love him) did a free ultrasound on him ("new toy"). Buzz has a large cyst on his liver, right in the middle, there is normal liver on either side. For now, we are doing antibiotics, fluids and force feeding high calorie soup. Buzz was definatly perker after the fluids in the office. We are also doing a CBC. He is 6.5 yrs and the doctor said the cyst was inoperable so its just a matter of time right now. Keep him in your thoughts, I want him comfortable and happy but I told him if he wanted to go be with Dweezil and Tigger to let me know and I will help him. Carrie [Posted in FML issue 3933]
