Logan's vet update 3/31/10 #25

[K9karen]

Well, the heading says it all.

For the last month or so, she's been peeing and drinking up a storm. Sometimes waking me 3-4x in the middle of the night. She's been through urine and blood tests and they were inconclusive.

I brought her to the vet on Monday for a conjuntivitis type, red glob on her inner left eye. It doesn't seem to bother her, but the vet was a bit concerned. I'm treating her with eye drops and it looks better, but she's scheduled for surgery on Wednesday.

I reinerated the peeing and, being another vet, and a second opinion, she seemed worried. More urine and blood has been taken and samples will sent to a lab for diagnosis.

Mz Klo's been acting normally, eating, playing and as happy as can be.

*Sigh*. Pettalk prayers are welcomed! I don't care if I go broke, I will pay whatever I have to in order to help her survive.

Well this is NOT what I expected for dear Miz Logan! Cyber hugs to you, belly rubs for her, please.

And do let us know the lab results when they come back.

You can try to find copies of the books on ebay, or copies people scanned & uploaded online.

I do hope your baby gets better soon

Thanks a lot for the reference! I made copies of it to show the vet. Maybe that's why she's getting so many "eye" infections.

The vet called me today and said that Mizzy Logan's bloodwork looks totally normal, except for one enzyme which is a "13". Anything higher than 13 can mean the start of Cushings. Sorry, the scientific names of this stuff escapes me. Anyway, since Klo is borderline, she won't start treating her with meds for Cushings, but will keep up with urine and blood work. Meantime, she'll prescribe antibiotics, as she MAY have a bladder infection.

So, for right now, it's a huge *WHEW* from me. Logan didn't have any of the other symptoms. But, as I said before, I'll sell my house if I have to, really. She's my babydoll.


Because I have a conflicting surgeon's appointment next Wednesday, I postponed her eye surgery until March 31, That's my dad's birthday so I'm sure she'll be fine.

I'll also discuss an ultrasound while she's under so the docs can check her adrenal glands.
