friends... i called my vet...and he is at a vet convention all week...IN VEGAS!...:) sigh...but Leesa [at the vet's office] said to bring him in tomorrow [wednesday] and let the other vet look at him and see if we need to send him over to OSU for any tests...i think i will take his brother along so she has something to compare Uh-Oh's throat to right then...[and then also maybe Uh-Oh will not be terrified of going to the vet...:)] i checked him [uh-oh] again this morning...it is the same as yesterday...no change that i can tell...but that seemed to make it all the more important i get him in there?...:-/ tommy works this afternoon/night [tuesday]...so tomorrow is the soonest we can get him in... it does not seem to move...it is about the size of a large pea..or a small garbonzo bean...it feels roundish in shape... it is at the back of the jaw...[where the jaw and throat meet]...just below there on the throat...just left of center... i have felt some of my other ferrets' throats..and there is no such lump on them... thank you all for your concern... love, kat ===== KITY=^..^=KAT and the Kollektive [17] http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover97 In Memory of...White Russian...who lost his fight with ADV on May 8, 2002 Missing pieces of my heart...
