Update (Swollen glands -- neck area)

Well, good news -- no signs of cancer cells in Sweeter's lymph node samples!!! They are "reactionary," which most likely means an infection or some sort of swelling somewhere in her body.

The vet suspects it's still the megacolon surgery.

Her lymph nodes are better now though. We're waiting a day or so and if they don't continue to get better on her own, we'll have a blood culture and sensitivity test. I don't want to just keep trying different antibiotics, they seem to be murder on her stomach.

My sensitive little cat.

Thanks for the info and personal experiences, and the good wishes,

Rhonda
