Lisa,
does an aspiration provide enough cells to give an accurate
diagnosis? Our vet said a biopsy might be a better way to go because
it can be hard to find the lymph nodes via an aspiration because of
the surrounding fat. And Summer is quite chubby.
But if it works, then I'm all for it. I'd much rather take the low
stress route. Summer seems so unhappy lately.
Thanks.
