A note on Mr Meow.

[Barbara]

That sounds good to me. When I was about 30 (100 years ago) I had swollen lymph nodes all over my body- it was checked by a biopsy and for weeks I was not sure what it could be- after that it went back and nobody ever found out. I hope it's the same with Mr Meow

I'm so glad he's eating more and doing better! Glad cancer was ruled out officially. Big hugs and pets to Mr. Meow!!

That is wonderful news, Jen, so good to hear. Congratulations and well done to you and Mr. Meow both! Please give him some kissies and skritchies from me and headbumpies from the cats.

Great news! Keep up the great work Mr. Meow! We are all so happy for you!

Jen, this is such great news! And also is great to hear that Mr Meow is REALLY eating now!

I was just wondering....is this new med to prevent further inflammation? Do the vets think he will get another one if he doesn't take the meds?

It is weird...I mean, he had that ONE - but no other lymph nodes swelled up.

I would like to know where they are coming from. Are they still trying to discover the cause of the swollen lymph node?

Maybe something got 'stuck' in the node, and the lymphatic fluid wouldn't flow?

Is he still his happy sucky self? Give that beautiful boy a hug for me, ok?

Yes, the medicine is to keep the inflammation controled. We were previously using a steroid, but the vet wanted to get him OFF the steroid.

We are still (and may continue to be) in the dark about WHY this happened. It is SO hard not knowing, but the tests don't gve us the answer we need.

But he is happy, playful, lovable and just doing so well that we can't argue!

Terrific news. Oh Mr. Meow, so many of us want you to be a happy healthy boy, just keep on recovering!
