It's always sad to have a pet pass away.

Can you sum up the cause (or possible cause) in a few, easy to understand sentences for us?

Sorry for your loss. I want to thank you for the photos. They are very interesting and will be helpful in understanding our Balls a little better.
Best Regards,

...checked them out & the histo report, but unfortunately these results don't indicate or even suggest an etiology or cause of the nonspecific generalized inflammatory reaction. The acid-fast result would be interesting to know, to rule-out Cryptosporidium being present in the stomach or Mycobacterium being present throughout. Any info yet on that? SJM
