    Cat Fur Feeling Dry And Rough

    Lymphoma Diagnosis- Not Sure If Small Or Large Cell

    I'm not 100 % certain on this- maybe someone will correct me, but if there are enlarged lymph nodes, can't they do a fine need aspiration and examine those cells? FNA is a tiny needle that gathers a very small amount of cells.

    Does Mirtazapine Actually Make Kitty Feel Better?

    I'm having trouble figuring out if it just makes her crazy for food, or if she actually has a reduction in pain and nausea. When she takes an 1/8 every three days, she more engaged, walking around, jumping on counters, playing with toys, etc. Is this a sign she FEELS better than without it...
