Thank you all for your very helpful advice. I thought you might like an update on how my 2.5 neutered male, Tally is doing. The specialist vet (multi-d's!) has x-rayed and says he has an enlarged spleen. Apparently these go up and down in size for no apparent reason. Is this right? He also has a low platelet count. The vet wants Tally back in 10 days time for more blood tests and meanwhile I have to feed him up. For some reason, I haven't received any FML updates so if anyone has tried to reach me there, I'm very sorry but I haven't got anything. However, my email is still working and thank you everyone that wrote to me there. Kindest regards, Susan [Posted in FML issue 2848]
