Dr. Williams and FHL:
Enclosed are links to the pictures of Quark's hind
quarters and
tail. What I did find on him last night that did not
make it into the pictures is also a mast cell tumor of
about half an inch on his side.
To recap, he had a cancerous mass of about the size of
an entire woman's thumb, which included his left
adrenal, removed from him last spring. He's very
thin, but alert and had been eating on his own 2 tbsp
of Bob Church's chicken gravy per day, as well as .2cc
of prednisonne to enhance his appetite. In the past
month, he's started getting the sores on his
hindquarters but they do not seem to bother him at all
(ie: he is not scratching there).
The pictures are at
www.eviloverlord.org/beckers/2_crop.jpg, 3_crop.jpg,
4_crop.jpg. Please let me know what you think from
these pictures.
thank you
