Dog Update

Took Goli back to vet today for x-rays to find some cancer.
He had a small freak out when the woman took his leash to take him back. So I went with him and promised him I would be back soon. I actually got in the cage first to get him in there....

They didn't find anything today.
Took several x-rays but no cancer that was obvious.
So they took another blood test to check his thyroid but they had to send it out to another lab, and we won't hear anything for another week.

So one possibility would be to remove at least one of his calcium glands to lower his calcium levels.

Also possible, he may have cancer and it just isnt obvious. If thats the case...he already checked the obvious spots and there isnt much we can do.

Another possibility...it could be his thyroid. They may look into taking it out or just putting him on some medication.

When I picked him up I asked the dr if there was anything to help give his kidneys a rest from constantly flushing the calcium. He gave us a bottle of Lasix to take twice a day. He said he still will pee a lot, so we wont see any changes in his behavior but it will still help his kidneys.

I am getting a lot of use of our new mop.

Brad's mom called tonight to see how he was doing. We started joking he was tired of me getting all the attention and wants people to start sending him cards and gifts too.

We are babying him. I know its frustrating for him to be peeing everywhere. To lose control of your own body like that.

So we now just have to wait a week to see what the thyroid tests show.
