Urinalysis results pg2 #33 Coping with FLOODS!

[robinh]

Those Bichons are a worry...so sweet all of the time and when they act different it is a real worry. Give him a kiss for me.

I just had Kirby (my 9 year old Bichon) to the vet yesterday. He's been acting strangely the last couple of weeks. Very fearful and clingy - so unlike him. Had an x-ray to look for tumors on the liver - nothing (phew). But his thyroid was a little high for me. The vet said to wait a couple of months and we'll run it again. He may be developing Cushings. We'll wait and see.

Hi Robin, yeah Cushings is a worry w/ bichons, they are so prone to it. We suspect that is part of Marlin's issue. But they get so many false negatives w/ the Cushings test, that sometimes the disease is quite advanced before it is actually diagnosed.

Hugs to Kirby!

Give Marlin a great big hug for me. He and my Kirby would get along so well. Sweet goofy little guys.

Lots of love to darlin' Marlin! We sure hope everything is fixable and turns out ok.

Thanks, Lilith. We'll see tomorrow what the vet can offer.
