Vet doesn't think it's panniculitis, but he wants us to take Max back to the ISU Veterinary Clinic in Ames. He's going to make an appointment to see Dr. Noxom (dermatology) as soon as we can get in. Our vet says it doesn't look like any of the other cases he's seen.

We did have blood tests run on Max to see if his thyroid is getting worse. And to check for Cushing's disease. So at this point we don't know a lot more than we did before.

Max was so good today. He let them take blood without flinching. He let the vet pick him up not once, but twice. Keep in mind Max doesn't like anybody but family. The only thing was he just about went to sleep on the way home - he was so tired.
