Well, Logan has a small eyelid growth removed from her right lower eyelid and a conjunctival growth from her left lower lid. That growth has been sent for a biopsy and I'll know if all is OK in about a week.
She's scheduled for a low dose dexamethasone test next week to check if she has Cushings. I bring her in at 9a for bloodwork, take her home, bring her back 4 hours later and repeat 4 hours later. I chose this method rather than keep her in a cage for 8 hours.
Yesterday night (Tuesday) was murder. Just as I feared, Mz. L kept us awake from 1a to 7a, whining, barking, "talking", pacing, panting for water. It was the worse night of our lives. Nothing we did calmed her. I didn't want to close the door on her. I felt so bad although it was necessary. It's so hard to explain to a dog that she has to fast!
She's still groggy, She has 1 stitch on her eye and it doesn't seem to bother her. I took of the "lamp shade". She has no appetite yet. I know she'll be herself by tomorrow, but you all know that it's just pathetic to see our babies out of sorts. "Sigh".
Thanks for for good thoughts. I'm still nervous about the Cushings, but I will deal with it any way I have to in order to extend her life.
