Last week I took Bonnie to her veterinarian because she'd become extremely lethargic, loosing appetite, and then the night before the appointment she lost use of her hind legs. Dr. Snyder ran blood tests which showed WBC in the 7000 range, lymphocytes at 60, and glucose at 85. She also has an enlarged spleen so we took x-rays. Dr. Snyder believes we are looking at possible lymphposarcoma or trauma. We decided to try Prelone before a biopsy. Her appetite has increased (with much coaching) and she is trying to use her back legs. She can take a few steps before she gives up and pulls herself across the floor. She still heads for the litter box and as often as I can I support her back end for her (which she feels is an invasion of privacy!) I did note that she doesn't curl up in a normal ferret ball position when she sleeps - her body is stretched with her head extended. Bonnie is just 8 months old and she is one of the 8 kits turned over to me in July. She was adopted and then brought back for boarding till after the new year. Her activity level was not what I'd call normal for a 7 1/2 month old when she came back for boarding so I don't know if she had fallen or wedged herself somewhere before, and her owner is totally out of contact till after christmas. I'm afraid we are facing lymphosarcoma, and would like input from the veterinarians and FML'rs (that have dealt with this disease) as to their thoughts and recommendations. I do have a copy of the Medical FAQ and Dr. Browns article, which I've read over and over. The health food store had to order the Pau d' Arco Extract and it won't be in till Friday. Dr. Williams I tried to e-mail you personally but it bounced back. I've dealt with insulinoma for years but this is the first case of lymphosarcoma (if it truly is) and we want to do everything we can for little Bonnie. Clyde would be so sad if anything happened to her.
