Just spoke w/Dr. Lee. He said that Boo's blood work came back mostly normal, no really elevated BUN or creatinine, etc. He said "I can't get that picture of the x-ray out of my mind" so he wants me to bring Boo in today for another x-ray. If it hasn't changed, he said he needs to do that exploratory surgery. I asked if he felt that at his age if Boo could withstand the surgery and he said "I feel that he can. All of his blood work is good so I think it's his stomach that's causing the problem". So. I guess we go back today. Please keep up the prayers for my boy.

The frustration that Dr. Lee felt was all over his face; his lips were pursed and his brow was furrowed and he said "I don't know what to think". I told him that I didn't give Boo his thyroid med last night and there was a marked difference in him this morning. He was ravenously hungry and ate quite a bit as compared to how he's been eating, which is hardly at all. Plus yesterday he didn't make a sound when I put him in the carrier and drove to the clinic, which is unusual. He's normally quite vocal. Today he clearly did not want to go and told me so. I think the thyroid meds have something to do w/his behavior and lack of appetite so Dr. Lee said to cut his meds to once a day and see how he behaves and to bring him in for another x-ray in a couple of weeks unless he hasn't improved.
