Good News! Vixen doesn't have to have surgery, at least not yet. Dr. Bond said we can keep on the antibiotics (which seem to be helping) and we'll check next Monday. Hopefully between the warm washcloths and the antibiotics her problem will either clear up or stay where it is now. (whew) Thank you all for your kind thoughts and wishes. (and Vixen says thanks too! especially for the no-surgery). Hugs to all! tle [Posted in FML issue 0928]
