hello all: Nero, our 7 year old (his history is at http://www.furph.com/ferrets/nero.phtml) developed last year a 4cm lump of fat on the left side of his neck. We had it removed and it seemed to greatly improve his alertness. Now, he seems to have it again, although not as large, yet. I'm afraid to do surgery after his February surgery and I'm concerned that the extra fat from the whipping cream that he's getting every day is the cause (he is getting 1tsp to get the brewer's yeast/chromium down). Any ideas? Our doc suggested vitamin b - ideas on this? thanks beckers [Posted in FML issue 2447]
