folks: thanks dr. williams for the offer of examining the tumor. i will have to ask my vet after pathology looks at it to see if i can get it back. and yes, just as she had me, larry, and the vet all worried about her, escher decided to start eating solid food this morning. this is the same ferret that will wait until you're hysterically screaming for her because you haven't seen her in hours, then magically appear in the middle of the room. sigh. so, we'll be cutting back her nutrical. thanks beckers, larry, and the even wilder eleven [Posted in FML issue 0785]
