Back to the vet with Chandler

Just got off the phone with the vet. I am taking Chandler over for a urinalysis and Xrays at 1:30 I'll let you know what we find out.

Lastnight I could not get him to take his meds and was really concerned. this morning though he did take a couple bites of a chicken strip,2 bisquits,and 1 peanut butter cookie. That was the most he has eaten in days. I was so happy because lastnight he just looked so frazzled,tired, and his face looked sucken in. He looks a little more revived today. I feel like I am on a rollercoaster with him. I am so praying we are on an upswing here.
 
We're praying along with you, Dawn. Good luck with the vet visit. We will anxiously wait for your update. Hugs to you.
 
We have been watching how Chandler is doing and he has been in our prayers from the start.
We feel so sad that he is so sick.
and wishing too that he will turn around and be well again.
Our thoughts and continued prayers are with you Dawn.
Sylvia & our 4 shelties.
 
Can't wait to hear about the vet visit and what the specialist had to say to your vet. I hope he turns the corner soon. I have been thinking and thinking of what else he might like to eat. Have you tried canned tripe?
 
Took Chandler to the vet today and we did a urinalysis and xrays. the specialist suggested these because from his symptoms and prior tests she said she suspects he may be in Kidney failure or possibly have Cancer of the Lymph Nodes. The xrays didn't show anything and the urine test results will be back tomorrow and we also have him scheduled for an ultrasound. The vet explained Cancer of the Lymph Nodes is not always able to be seen and even though nothing is seen it is possible he still may have it. He does have several of the symptoms I have seen listed on the internet. Lethargy,not eating,diarhea,vomiting,frequent urination,drinking alot of water and some of these have been present for a few months. My vet suggested we just wait for more test results and go from there. We also gave him some fluids sub Q and he has been resting most of the evening.

He gave me a tough time earlier getting him to take his evening meds but I finally was able to get him to take them a few minutes ago. We are hanging in there thank you everyone for your prayers and concerns. I am blessed to have all of you here to support me through this. Hugs to all of you and your furbabies.
