My 6.5 year old male has been tentatively diagnosed with insilinoma and lymphosarcoma. They can't be positive it's lympho.. unless they do a biopsy (sorry for the sp.) I won't be be doing one of those because of his age, that alone will be too stressful on him. So, now he is on prednesone 0.6 ml twice a day forever. We have been really lucky with Pooh's health up until now. My question / concern, is that he never wants to play anymore. He will run around the house and dig the carpet for about half our as usual but I just can't get him play like he did before. He seems to get really tired easily. Is he in pain? (his belly is swollen and a little hard) Or is the sickness really wearing him down? I would sometimes play gentle "rough house" with him, but I'm afraid to hurt is belly. Please, any thoughts / advise. I want to make the remaning portion of his life a little enjoyable than just sleeping all the time. Thank you Steph & Pooh [Posted in FML issue 4719]
