Marlin to the vet; Update #10

[K9karen]

Oh God, Sandie. I hope it's not Cushings. I nearly fainted when I read your post. Mz Logan had some symptoms 2x before but the tests were inconclusive. Just today, she started drinking like crazy and wanting to go constantly, even in the 8 inches of snow and ice. See, we are soul sisters. I was thrown for a loop. I'm going to wait another day. One time, the vet gave her antibiotics and she was back to normal. Anyway, this is about Marlin. I pray and hope the poor little guy is OK.

Elyse, thanks for the candle!

Karen, I DO remember what you and Miz Logan went through. Hope she isn't going that route again. If she is getting UTI's, have you asked about a urine acidifier to try and stop those? Just a thought.

Bichons are prone to Cushings, and he has a lot of the symptoms. All we've done today was the blood tests; the specialized 2 hour test requires a reagent, and they are out of it at my vet. So depending on the lab results, we do that next.

I have to get a urine sample in, as UTI's go along w/ Cushing's. Couldn't do that today, as we are in the midst of a 10 inch snow storm. Should be able to deliver that tomorrow.

I sure hope he doesn't have Cushings Disease. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Okay Marlin Darlin - you know we here in DE do not like to hear news like this. Fuzzbuttz's paws crossed, and prayers from their Mom, that it's nothing too serious that is pestering you.

Feel better soon. We love you!
