Re: Isabella update ~ enlarged spleen not lymphoma!
I have read somewhere that there is a neurological disease that cats can develop that makes them really wacky when they are touched, but I have no idea where I saw it or read it. Is it called synthese;/ ]'(7sia or something. It's sensory overload. Consciousness is Causal and Physicality is its Manifestation.

Re: Isabella update ~ enlarged spleen not lymphoma!
The vets have mentioned this. I think it's hyperesthesia or something like that. I had forgotten about this. Thank-you .

RE: Isabella update ~ enlarged spleen not lymphoma!
Best wishes and prayers are going your way Laurie. How frustrating that Isabella cries out when you touch her since you probably just want to hold her and comfort her. I'm sure she still knows how much you love her. I wish she could just tell you why she hurts! Hang in there!
