This is a followup on Tabitha's condition. We increased her Pred dose and
her condition improved again -- we are not sure for how long. Is there a
veterinarian in the list who would be willing to take a look at the March 16
xray of her spine and tell us what they think? We could send it by e-mail.
One vet described the spine's appearance as "moth-eaten". This vet brought
up multiple myeloma as a diagnosis. One thing that appears to be significant
is the high red blood cell count, which went down after pred was started. One
would expect that lymphoma would reduce the red blood cell count.
