just to let everyone that told me that ultrasounds are a waste of time and money...that's not true. if your vet is eductated with ultrasounds, and knows what they're doing, it can be an EXTREME help. it saved Onion un-needed surgery. the shots they are going to give him are Lupron(sp) and hopefully if not extend his life, will however give him better quality of life.
