Hi all,

I posted a note yesterday and I guess everyone just thinks it was just an
update.

I have an odd question. Since Bianca has been on the pred (for the
insulinoma), I noticed that the left lymph node above her should has gotten very hard
with almost sharp edges and the one in the armpit is getting that way. What is
causing this? Should they be removed.

I pointed this out to my vet and he put her on amoxicillin. They have gotten
harder since then. Any ideas?

Bianca is doing much better wit h her insulinoma. I have her on prednisone
(pediapred) and brown liquid vitamins. She hates the vitamins and bearly
tolerates the taste of the prednisone. She is getting very small amounts of
Ferretvite 2-4 times per day (the vet said to give her some).

I have noticed she is much more active.

I know, more protien, but I have not figured out how to get her to eat it.
She just likes 'her' kibble. I am going to go to the store and get some kitten
Iams and see if she will eat that.

kathy.
