<div>First of all, Miss Cleo is feeling much better. Thank you to everyone for all the healing drool. I truly believe it helps. Dr. Matt is still trying to figure out what it is. Her bloodwork came back fine; a little higher on the kidney white cells so he thought she might have a little infection there. Everything Cushings-wise seems to be in check and where it needs to be. Her urinalysis was fine. Now the x-ray, well that's the puzzler. Dr. Matt & radiology found a little spot either on or in her stomach, back toward the pancreas. It's not a mass, but it looks like a small white line. From the side view, it looks more like a little question mark. Now I keep everything out of reach (because of Quincy-the baby) and am very careful about leaving anything out. Doc thinks it might be a little sliver of a treat or something similar that might have gotten stuck in her stomach wall; but he's not sure. He took me back & showed me the x-ray. Darndest thing I've ever seen. </div>

<div>He said she was alert & bright-eyed all day, no vomiting, there's no other internal thing going on. Just this crazy little white line and just from the x-ray, they can't tell if it's in or on her stomach. So last night, he told me to give her some canned pumpkin. Her colon was full and he wanted her to poop. He said there's no blockages, so that was good. So I took her home and, thank God, she ate her little bowl of pumpkin, and I had brought home one of those pre-cooked whole chickens from Price Chopper, and she ravenously ate quite a bit of the breast meat too. This morning, she was perkier and seemed more like herself. Anyway, I had to take her back in this morning (poor little thing started whining when we got in the truck), so they can do another x-ray and, HOPEFULLY, this thing will have passed through her system (I'm praying for this and so is my bank account). Otherwise, they will do a barium to get an idea more what & where it is, and if all else fails, they'll do an ultrasound. God, PLEASE let it have passed through her system so I can pay my rent! Droolers, you know how it is, you'd sell a kidney to help your baby! And so would I. Please keep the drool coming, and say a little mantra that she "pooped it out."<br clear="all">
