Wow, did I freak yesterday. I found a big lumpon Tank's neck. I thought of how Bunbun died, of cancer that choked hisbreathing. It was awful. But the weird thing was, she looked fineexcept for not wanting me to touch it (I am getting major BUTT now).Eating, drinking, great fur, ripping cardboard off the walls, etc.

Well, I didn't realize all the weird stuff that happens to pregnantcritters' bodies. It appears to be a goiter (common during pregnancy),and gypsy says it should go away when she weans. She said she was gladI calmed down.:plololol

Hey, that was one scary-feeling thing!! But she'll be fine.

P.S. Tank is subleasing Pandemonium's brand new 3x5 mansionuntil she leaves here.:DShe'll move in today or tomorrowafter the paint is all dry. This hutch design works wonderfully, soI'll post construction pics later in case anyone is looking for adesign. They cost about $70 apiece to build.

Enlargement of the thyroid gland, as far as I understand. Gypsy put itsimply: her thyroid can't keep up with the physical stresses ofpregnancy. It will go away but she looks pretty strange!
