Re: Awaiting Results. Vet strongly suspects Cushings
Hello and welcome from me too.
Just to verify, Odie doesn't drink excessively and urinate a lot or seem ravenously hungry? The only real problem is the back legs?
What exactly is elevated on the bloodwork? and what are the levels? Can you just put anything that is high or low here?
for example
ALP 1550ug (range 50 - 150)
You can get a copy from the vet. This will help us to give you better feedback.
I think like Marianne I am concerned that the cortisol is high due to the pain from the ligament tear. So I would want to know more before saying definitely cushings.
Now for the most part, if surgery isn't an option on the legs, then they recommend reduced movement for like 6 weeks I think it is. I had to use a doggie playpen for my dog when she hurt her back, because they can't jump up or down or run. You know dogs love to do that.
I know you must be just dying with anxiety and worry for your precious Odie. We are here to talk to you any time and help as we can.
