Georgie's not well now
Spent most of the morning at the vets with Georgie. Although it was because of his constant scratchin and chewing, I'm not happy with the way he is at the moment, so I asked if we could have a blood test, coz at the back of my mind it's similar to the signs he was showing back in April when his liver was enlarged due to overuse of steroids.
She agreed with me this morning that it might be because his temperature is slightly raised. He's had soft poo too which has been very yellow, and that puts the fear of God into me coz my other dog who had EPI would always have yellow diarrhea when it erupted. Soooooo, I said to the vet "I'm not going to lose another one am I??????" to which she replied that although pills can help the liver, sometimes they just stop working and there's nothing more we can do!!!
Oh Christ I thought, I can't bear to lose another one in such a short time.
Anyway, she's just rung me back and thank God the inhouse bloods are almost normal, so the liver's almost fine, she's 95% sure it's not his liver. Then again, if you remember back, that other vet was 99% sure that Cassie's lump wasn't cancer!!!!!!!
She has sent off some more blood somewhere else, and she should have the results of that back tonight at 7pm, so she'll ring me again.
If they're fine, she will do a scan of his stomach to see what's going on in there, coz she agrees with me that he's not happy. He keeps panting when he's not particularly hot, and I don't like the way he's breathing quite fast. He keeps lying down whilst out on our walk, just like he did when he had the liver problem, that's what made me ask her about it. He's just not right if you know what I mean, andnobody knows our dogs better than ourselves. Hopefully, she'll get to the bottom of it, but it all takes time, and I don't like to see him uncomfortable.
She won't give me the ab's until she's got the 2nd results back tonight, which is a shame, coz I really think they'd help him at the moment. I'm sure he's got stomach ache with whatever's going on inside him.
Please God, don't let me lose another one so soon, I just couldn't bear it!!!!!!!!
