Logan to the whitecoats

Good news there!

Logan's blood tests for his thyroid and pancreas came back. Both were negative so that's a good thing.

However, 3 of the 4 panels from his thyroid test were actually below normal. So it's indicating that something IS wrong, it's just not his thyroid.

The vet said it could be anything from Inflammatory Bowel Disease to a tumor in his intestines.

Since Christmas, he's been eating again (with gusto I might add), and he's had no vomiting or diarrhea. Because of this, the vet just wants me to monitor him and bring him back in February for a weight check.

Fingers crossed it's nothing too serious that can't be treated.

Thanks for keeping us updated about him. I know that in Storm's case my vet had to do another type of thyroid test because the regular type came back as a high normal. My vet then did a free T test and the results from this test did show that he does have hyperthyroidism.

I hope that whatever is causing health problems in Logan will either just go away on it's own or can finally be identified and can be easily treated. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Glad to hear he's eating again, hope it is nothing serious, whatever it is! Give him a kiss between the ears for me, okay?

Good wishes and prayers for Logan. Please keep us posted.

Just wanted to give you all an update. Logan had a follow up visit this past Friday and he now weighs 10.5 pounds.

He is doing very well!

Wow - a pound and a half! Great news! I bet he's looking better than ever.

Thanks for the update!

[phesina]

Great news! Thanks for the update.

Keep on keeping on, Logan!

This is wonderful news. I hope he'll continue to do well.
