this was the first time I ran into this, Niblet, who is 7 and MF, started, in the past month or so, scratching violently (but not breaking the skin) on her sides. Constantly. I didn't think it was the dryness of the air or the food since they all get TF and no one else is scratching nearly as much as her. When Dr. Schiff came today to do the herd's vaccines, he examined her. Her spleen is completely on the wrong side of her body and there is a half golf ball size lump underneath her rib cage on the left side. Apparently the scratching is not from itching but from this growth hurting her so badly. we're taking her in for surgery. Anyone had this before? thanks beckers [Posted in FML issue 2597]
