I took Calvin to the veterinary yesterday, as not only did I find one lump,=
but another under a front leg, and also Thursday evening he just didn't ac=
t right, abdomen slightly distended.
After a thorough exam the vet found swollen lymph nodes on his hind legs, a=
s well as the front, although the abdomen was normal. No swollen nodes tha=
t he could ascertain in the neck area. So he gave him a shot of Depomedrol=
and had me put him on Clavamox. Said I may notice an increase in thirst a=
nd urination. We talked about other meds, and he told me of one that cause=
s extreme irritation around the urethra/prepuce(sp?), that Depomedrol was p=
robably the best. Told me to watch him, see how he does. The vet had give=
n one little one a Depo shot and it lasted it a year before the glands swel=
led again, another lasted 4 months before another shot.
Thanks to Alicia and Connie for their advice. I'll keep you posted on his =
progress.
