It's called peritoneal effusion, and here are some links to places that mention it: _http://www.antechdiagnostics.com/clients/antechNews/2000/apr00_02.htm_ (http://www.antechdiagnostics.com/clients/antechNews/2000/apr00_02.htm) _http://www.vin.com/proceedings/Proceedings.plx?CID=WSAVA2004&PID=8683&Categor y=1262&O=Generic_ (http://www.vin.com/proceedings/Proceedings.plx?CID=WSAVA2004&PID=8683&Category=1262&O=Generic) There are more, but both of those do. Another symptom of toxo, besides fever and effusion, can be anemia: _http://www.antechdiagnostics.com/clients/antechNews/2000/4-00.htm_ (http://www.antechdiagnostics.com/clients/antechNews/2000/4-00.htm) I saw it in many more, but did not save the links. I also found a case study (unfortunately diagnosed via necropsy) where the ultrasonic and aspirate results were the same as Lucy's-- enlarged mesenteric lymph node with granulatamous inflammation and thickened intestinal loops. That cat was also anemic, though much less so than Lucy (pcv 27, I think). Seems worth treating for. I started her tonight on clindamycin, which is a treatment for toxo. I am taking her to the vet tomorrow and want the test done too, i think. Michelle In a message dated 1/21/2007 7:36:57 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Michelle, I can't find anything to suggest abdominal effusion is a symptom of Toxoplasmosis, would you mind posting where you saw that?
