Hello to all, I'd written a couple of days ago about me being worried about Grizzly. Took her to my wonderful vet today, he does find a large mass in her spleen. Her temp was 103 degrees which is 2 degrees higher than the normal. He gave me Preduisone to give to her orally for a total of 20 days. He said that either way, wether the swelling goes down or gets worse he would like to see us back in 1 week. I'm gonna wait till tommorow to feel her mass again just to see if there is any improvement. She wasn't too happy about all of it, but I now know that giving her her meds is going to be a 2 person job. Wish me the best of luck lol. I was actually going to wait till the end of the week to take her in, but I just needed to find out if anything was wrong with her and I'm glad I did. Instead of waiting and her having to have an operation like my parents'. She's snoozing right now, as she has been for the past 7 hours since we've gotten home. That's one reason you can tell she's not feeling well, she's been doing SO much more sleeping and less playing. Plus, she raises the hair on her tail like she's aggitated b/c she doesn't feel good, and before she NEVER did that. Poor baby though, I just wanna get her out of her cage and love her till she can't stand me anymore. Thank you to ?Risa? (sorry if it wasn't you, I'll check back and correct myself if I was wrong!) for the well wishes, that was really nice. I've loved ALL of the advice I've gotten over the past year for my fuzzy loved ones. Thank you to everyone! Oh also, my parents are going to wait a couple of more days before the get Stevie out and about, she's been doing great, but ALOT more on the cuddley side. We'll see, hopefully by Wednesday she will be with the others for a bit. Alison~Nursing Grizzly, and try to get Tazz, George and Brandy to stop biting my toes. [Posted in FML issue 4048]
