We are just going to get her stable for now and then think about the next step. I read from one of the posts above that they don't do liver stunts in California? They do in fact do them. You just need to know who to contact. Someone posted UC Davis,this might be a good possibility. My cousin was a teaching oncologist and I'm sure he knows someone that could help.
I'm going to call the specialist in Arcadia in the morning and see what he feels about treatment. This doctor does it all. If anyone can work on LS, he's the one to see. This guy is so good, he works on every type of animal. It doesn't matter if it's Tigers or the small of animals. He is known across this country because of his reputation.
I'll keep you posted on all updates but please keep in mind, Krystal is very upset and needs our support for now. Think how you would feel if you were facing this situation. It's sad but right now it's in God's hands and he work out the way it's suppose too.
Let's all just say some prayers that Melody condition will improve with the medication for now.

Kathleen,
Let me start out by telling you how wonderful you are......
Yes, UC Davis I'm sure does perform the surgery. It is one of the top vet schools in the country.
Question and/or recommendation......your vet and/or Melody's vet needs to contact Dr. Tobias and Dr. Centers.....they both will work closely with whatever vet will be taking care of this wee one's medical needs. Providing consultation and assistance.....
Again Bless You.....for all your help and concern.......prayers and help are here......

Kathleen,
I'm going to make a suggestion and I hope it is received in good faith. Once treatment has been established maybe we (YTers) can possibly set up donations through the vet who is going to be handling Melody's treatment....I know many of us can't contribute big donations but, $5.00, $10.00 here and there do add up.
