(red face)... thank you Tony.

Our vet was out again today. I sure wish her vet would get her better
so she can go to work... anyway... check with her vet tech. He
checkted the chart from the last exam and there was no notation of any
enlarged organs. I think they just seem enlarged to me because he is
so skinny right now... It is taking 4 hand feedings a day but we are
managing to maintain his weight for the moment.

I am starting to worry that we are going to have to give up going to
the IFC event in Portland.

Could insulinoma present this way? I have never been happy with the
BG levels that show up on his lab work (40ish, 60ish, both fasting)
but the vet assures me that this is okay....
