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

[K9karen]

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.

Sounds like a plan. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon, so no
more midnight potty runs. Stay healthy miss Klo.

I'm glad to hear all is alright as of yet. Keep us updated. We don't like our doggies being in pain.

Hi Karen, sorry, I just now am seeing this. I am very relieved to hear the news that she is just about where she needs to be enzyme wise! I will keep miss Logan in my prayers, and please give the pretty girl a kiss and treat for me!

Good news and what a relief. Please give lovely Logan a kiss and hug from me.

WHEW is right. Good news.

Here's an update.

Logan's been on an antibiotic since last week. She's still drinking a lot but her nightly wake-me-ups have reduced to 1 or 2. She doesn't seen herself. I know we've been gone a lot during the day, but that never affected her..she gets the big bed all day. She did pee once by the inside back door, which was a first ever. She seems listless somehow. She'll still runs after critters and patrols the yard.

Problem....Tuesday night (tomorrow), she has to fast after midnight. She's having her eye surgery on Wednesday. I just don't know how I'm going to ignore her request for water at night. I'm going to ask for an Xray or MRI also on her adrenelan and pituitary gland to check for the Cushings.

She's always been so healthy. It feels like she's not herself so quickly. Too bad she hates the camera so much. I wish I could post constant pictures of her. She really is a darling.

[Louie and me]

Be sure to keep the bathroom door closed and/or toilet lid down. I had to remove Louie's water last week and woke up in the night to hear him having a good slurp from the toilet. Something he had never done before.
Good luck with the eye surgery.

I'm sorry to hear Logan hasn't been feeling herself. Hope its not cushings and she'll be back to her old self soon.
