    I've often wondered if Keegan has it - she does pant a lot and has weight gain -she's already hypothryoid (on meds)
    But when I called my vet they said that since she wasn't losing massive amounts of hair and didn't have a pot belly and the test was pricey they didn't think just her panting and weight warranted it.
    She had lost about 6 pounds in a month - but I think she's went back up - but Its probably my fault that I haven't been watching her intake.
    Does Sasha act like her belly is tender @ all?
    Good luck to BOTH of you!

    I could also use some prayers for help getting the pee sample.
    I have had to get many pee samples over the years. I always use a tin pie pan, (like from a store bought pie) and slide it under dog as she starts to pee. Then simply pour into the container you're taking it in. Good luck!
    It's good to hear some of the 'good' news about Sashas tests. I will continue to keep her in my prayers.

    She doesn't have any belly tenderness.

    She pants ALL the time though. Keeps me up at night doing it. I bought a fan, just for her, if she sleeps in front of it she doesn't pant. It seems to help keep her cool. She takes in alot of water and pees alot. I can be up 1 to 5 times a night to let her out to pee. She's also got a huge appetite when she's feeling good. Can't wait for her breakfast and supper and needs a million cookies in between.
