Well, I heard from the vet late on Friday and he said most of his bloodwork came back normal- Ollie's kidneys were great, no hyperthyroidism, etc., but his liver values were elevated since the last time we did the tests. I guess this could mean an inflamed liver or possibly a tumor, so the vet wanted to do a few x-rays to check it out. Those were scheduled for this morning.
However, over the weekend Ollie's taken a turn for the worse. He hasn't really eaten anything other than a few bites of chicken and tuna- it was all I could get him to eat. He wasn't interested at all in his canned or dry food. He also won't drink unless I physically carry him to the bathroom sink and let him drink from the faucet. So he's been extremely lethargic and I'm sure has lost more weight over the course of those three days...I'm just so thankful I was taking him to the vet this morning anyway. I'm really, really hoping they can do something to perk him back up after the x-rays...but I'm also trying to prepare myself for the worst. I have never seen Ollie quite this bad, he's been sickly his whole life but when he's always bounced back from these bouts.
I'm really trying to stay positive for my little buddy...really hoping I get to bring him home with me later today.
