Dr. Williams, Thanks for your advice on adrenal tumors & Lymphoma. Twinkie is due to have her exploratory surgery tomorrow. The reason I had wondered about the 2 combined is because of her age. She is only 1 1/2 yrs old. She's so tiny that we were trying to avoid surgery if possible. Twinkie weighs about 13 oz at this point. She also has an enlarged spleen that was palpated on one of her more recent visits. Although my vet is in frequent contact with Dr. Fox I'm always looking to hear what others have to say. I guess I'm hoping that someone will have some sort of "miracle" answer that will solve all her problems. I'm feeling very anxious about the surgery. I'm trying to think good thoughts & yet I'm very worried she won't make it through surgery and recovery time. I've raised her since she was a few weeks old & I still think of her as my baby. Thanks again for your thoughts on this. Sorry for rambling. Lindi [Posted in FML issue 0740]
