Some News On Angus

[anna_66]

Well, the vet called this afternoon about an hour ago. He said yes, his thyroid levels are low. He also said that his white blood count is up, but his red blood count is normal, which means he could have some kind of longstanding infection. Everything else (kidney, pancrease, lungs, etc...) are fine. So for now, we put him on thryoid medecation for about 2 weeks and see if there is any change. If not, a x-ray will have to be done to see if there is anything, like maby a tumor or something. I know I shouldn't be worried yet, but I can't help it. I don't want anything to happen to my baby boy. Just wanted to keep you up to date on what's going on with him. Anna

Well, I lived in Mandan, then moved to Bismarck, about 10 minutes away. I lived there with my parents for about 8 years.
It really is a nice place to live, not alot of crime & very clean, but there is absolutely nothing! to do !

I didn't see the original thread about Angus but my youngest, Thunder, border collie mix - has been on Thyroid pills for a year and the difference and improvement have been outstanding. Just don't forget the pills or think "OK, better now, don't need to continue" If the Dr. says THYROID, keep up with the pills. My Thunder is sooooo much happier and playful now. Hair has grown back and he's laughing a lot these days. What joy. Laurie

paws, fingers, toes, tails, eyes and anything else me and the dogs can cross in hoping Angus is okay...oh and lots of prayers as well.

Everything is crossed over here too!

Well, I went to the vets yesterday. He put Angus on: thyroid pills (2/day), Ampicillin (2/2x/day), Rimadyl (1/day) and last but not least Iron pills (1/day), Phew!! Is that alot or what?! Thats 6/day!
Poor Dog! But the Rimadyl he can chew and all the others I put in peanut butter, he don't seem to mind like that. Now we take him back in 2 wks and retest him & hopefully everything is great! See, all the crossing of the fingers, toes, paws and everything else, just might have worked! Just have to wait a week or so to see if he acts any different (hopefully!), update you in a week or so!

Anna, still keeping our paws and fingers and even toes crossed that everything will turn okay for Angus!

[K9karen]

On the humorous side...what would we do withput peanut butter???
Continuous crossings of fingers/toes/paws and prayers for Angus's speedy, permanent recovery!!
