Sophie had her spleen removed and her appetite following surgery was  
horrible.  A blood test revealed anemia.  She was started on an iron  supplement 
and her appetite improved.  She is still on the iron supplement  and I am 
sure she will be for the rest of her life.  But she eats.   Please do a blood 
test to see if there are underlying factors.

Ophelia needs some start-eating  drool.? On Saturday evening she had to go 
to the E.R..? When they x-rayed her  tummy to check for pancritis, they 
discovered she had a large tumor on her  spleen.

The spleen had to be removed.?? She came through the surgery  okay and came 
home, but she refuses to eat...she drinks water, pees okay, but  shows no 
interest in food.? She hasn't eaten since Saturday.?

I'm  talking with my vet today about a drug to stimulate appetite.? If that 
doesn't  work, then Jeff and I will make a tough decision and let her go to 
the  bridge.? She's not quite ten yet.? Three months ago, she had a anal 
sack tumor  removed and it was cancerous. They said at the time they didn't 
get all of it,  but gave her a year to a year and a half before it would come 
back.? I'm  afraid this is all tied together.

Hamlet is sending drool to any hounds  that are in need of it.
