Daktari's Health Information

OFA: GOOD
OFA# 3921G38M

Daktari has never been sick until April 2000. His eye ball begin to swell and protrude. Upon a physical exam by Dr Thompson, we confirmed Daktari also has a tumor on his left testicle.

On two separate occasions, the pressure check of his left eyeball was within normal range. The eyball is NOT hard. An ultra-sound test, of the area behind the eyeball socket (done by Dr. Thompson) revealed nothing. In early May blood began leaking from his nose profusley as well as from the mouth. A couple of weeks later it stopped bleeding altogether. The size of the eyball and how far it protrudes continues to increase.

The x-rays taken 6.8.00 seem to be inconclusive? It does not appear to be in the bone. We are thinking it is in the soft tissue. Dr. Thompson is interested in a second opinion on reviewing the x-rays.

Are the x-rays easier to see with a white background? As opposed to the blue background?

Also, I can bring you the actual x-rays, if that would be better.

Your thoughts on the x-rays & treatment plan please? Send to: Kushinda@pobox.com THANKS!
