Thanks for the small flood of responses from you FMLers. This morning Rocky was still pretty runny, but by the time I got home and woke him up, there was a firm, large, less runny surprise for me in the corner. Thanks to Anthony, who mentioned vomiting as a symptom - Rocky hadn't resorted to expelling stuff that way - a huge relief when I read about it. Thanks for your help and advice! Justin. P.S. I got the videocam out tonight, and I'll digitize a few pics of Rocky tomorrow, and get them up on my yet-to-be-released new web page. [Posted in FML issue 1890]
