Bacca's skin funk is back! Really bad!

That's sounds more promising that what the tech said. The tech at my vet's won't say anything yeah or nay - the vet has to be the one.
 
"Nothing critical" is a lovely phrase. :) All this waiting must be so terrible, but at least that is heartening. I hope you get more good news.
 
Ok, the vet has thrown up her hands!

No huge findings from the ultrasound.

Possbile distended gall bladder...perhaps some indication of bladder stones, but blood work doesn't necessarily support that diagnosis

Liver is a little small, still an indication of a possible small liver shunt but not obvious

So now, off to an internist and a biopsy. Apparently that's going to tell me everything????? Dr. Shelli, Dr. Mac.....is this true?

She is now suggesting that all these years of treating for hypothyroidism and liver disease may be because of a bladder disorder....false readings????

Yep this will cost me another $1,000 I'm sure. Good thing I love you, Bacca.

Aaargghhhh! :gaah:gaah
 
Whoa, that is such a frustration after all that you have been through for your little guy.

Hang on in there Barb, the diagnosis is sure to be right around the corner. You have stayed the course so steady and true just think of all the bad things that are being eliminated as a cause of Bacca's distress.

Hugs and love and positive everything coming to you from USA.

Kate:smile2:
 
Feb 6th is the appointment....another week of waiting.

The poor boy has not undercoat to speak off these days, thought the antiobiotics seem to have arrested the scabs on his skin for the most part. I was supposed to bath him again tomorrow with the special shampoo but vet says no. She want's to the internest to see him in his naked glory! :o:cry:
 
Sorry Barb haven't been on, and that your still on a merry go round. If it helps I am still. Pulling layers of skin back on Max. Did the internest and nutritionist, I truly hope you have better luck then us. But thankfully we have them because we would do anything for our fur babies. Good luck on the sixth, hoping for good answers for you.
 
Barb, I hope they are able to find something to address Bacca's issues when you go to the doctor on the 6th. I really can relate to the waiting and not knowing from when Edan was really sick and not eating two years ago.

I'm glad Bacca has you to take care of him. A normal dog owner would have given up a long time ago.
 
Not looking forward to it. Have to fast him, and the appointment is not until 10:15 in the morning.

I see 4 hours of a whining dog waiting for breakfast.

I will do the unheard of and feed them both a full meal about 10 o'clock tonight. Hopefully that will make them full and happy tomorrow morning????? (p.s. I expect not....I think their internal clocks will kick in as usual at exactly 6:12 a.m.) Big sigh!
