Re: loose stool

Nina, I just saw this email.  You are probably right, and I probably should not be taking her tomorrow. I am just so damn paranoid at this point, that I feel like I am going to debate taking her every day anyway, maybe I should just do it. The vet is about 5 minutes away.  Hopefully it is an overreaction. I will feel so much better if they feel her abdomen and say no masses, though. Although lymphoma can be diffuse anyway, so maybe it is stupid to rely on palpations to decide how to treat her...   Michelle   In a message dated 3/15/2006 12:00:31 P.M.
