ksmith: (King)

Vet phoned this morning. King’s liver enzymes are still high.

Wednesday morning, I take him in for a day-long test which will, I hope, tell us 1) if he has Cushing’s and 2) whether it’s adrenal or pituitary.

Vet said that if it is Cushing’s, it’s likely very early because King isn’t showing symptoms other than the bladder infection and wonky bloodwork. However, when I look at this list of symptoms here, I can point to a few more things that may be happening, but are so damned subtle that they could be attributed to old age, arthritis, or any combo thereof.

Anyway, good thoughts appreciated. I know that if he does have it, it can be managed.

If he doesn’t have it, it’s back to square one to figure out what in hell could be going on.

*hugs* and high hopes for ol' King. From his point of view, no doubt, the bad part will be BEING AWAY FROM HOME WHERE IS MOM?!?!?!?!?!!! but they'll take good care of him. He's lucky to have such a loving mom.

I just want to get this settled. Find out what's going on, and treat it.

Your mind runs away with you.

Such a worry. I hope the tests manage to pinpoint the problem and that it's something that will either resolve itself or be easily managed...
