Hello Sue,

He was okay- a little laid back... not like now

I asked because to my knowledge sertoli is listed as a neoplasm? and I
thought that was not necessarily a malignant category.

He eats some but not very much-- the starvation I do not attribute to
cachexia, I have seen that most recently with cancer of the bile duct.

Thanks for your input-- I guess we will treat the less offensive for ulcers
and see if we get a response. I have yet another meeting with the vet in
early AM re: this and one other case.
