Hmmm--yes, this sounds likely. She specifically said it didn't look
like lymphoma. I don't have a feel for how good she is at seat-of-the-
pants diagnosis, but I don't think she'd say anything if she didn't
have a pretty good idea. She's refused to guess before. And I just
have a feeling that fat blobs would be obvious to most vets (though
maybe not, if a lab had to write an article about it).
So I'll do an implant and start him on pred and everything. What
would be the amounts? He's just under two pounds. My pred is 6.7/5. I
guess milk thistle isn't standardized for whatever the active
ingredient is, but SAMe and omega 3s should be.
What are the symptoms of this?
