Hi Everyone:
Just arrived back from Pittsburgh. I am so tired and so are the dogs. We have all been up since 4:30 am. We are currently having a storm and so much thunder that I am going to go to Tipper. I will post tomorrow after we go to the vets and get her tests. My knee locked up on me when I got to my Dr.'s office I can hardly walk. I will add it to the list of parts wearing out. Blessings

I am worried about you Patti.:o Try to get some rest for at least few hours. I know it's hard with Tipper in the closet. You did put a fan in there, right? Then Tipper should be fine while you get a little rest. The pups should be tired too! Maybe your whole menagerie should take a nap.:)
Seriously Patty, you can't keep going the pace that you're going forever, not with Lupus and now this. What about your pet sitter? Could she help you out for a few hours here and there? I realize that $$$$ are an issue, but your health needs to be a priority too. Your babies need you to be healthy.;) Prayers for all. Xxxx
Patti, Hope you have a good night and get some rest. Sorry to hear about your knee. Maybe with some rest tonight, it will feel better tomorrow. I also hope Tipper's test results will be good. Hugs
Hope those storms blow through quickly and go away for the rest of the night so you all can get some sleep. Poor Tipper doesn't need all that stress.
We have storms all around and just 30 minutes north of the city they had huge thunder boomers and lost power. We have been spared right here in the city...just rain so far.
Good luck at the vet tomorrow. :)
Barbara
Sending hugs and prayers Patti, take care of your self too!
Hi Everyone:
Just got back from the vets to post Tipper's numbers. Last nite was horrible here nothing but thunder. I put the fan in the closet with Tipper and that seemed to keep her cool at least. Heavy rain this morning as we went to the vets for the third time this week. The blood pressure was good, now the blood work was less than stellar so here we go:
Alk Phos
2-6-13 reading 36 10-150 UL normal range
4-9-13 153
5-9-13 178
8-9-13 201
Alt
10-7-12 65 5-107 UL Normal range
1-2-13 89
8-9-13 137
Albumin
1-2-13 4.3 2.5-4.0 Normal range
2-6-13 3.3
4-9-13 4.1
5-9-13 4.0
8-9-13 4.3
Reticuloycte
10-10-12 97 10-110 Normal range
1-2-13 153
8-9-13 158
Urine was 1.018 5-9-13 1.036 8-9-13
They do not have any range for specific gravity on my urine tests can someone help me out with a normal range on an IDEX test? I need to work on getting these problems in line some how with the alk phos and alt especially. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Tipper is taking a much needed rest after shot #6 today. She is not making the loud wheezing noise as much since the shots, hopefully they are helping. Now my oldest American Shorthaired beautiful silver and black mackerel tabby is becoming real lethargic and not wanting to play. He has arthritis and takes supplements for it, it is in his hip so either laser and or Adequan shots may be in order, after an Early Detection Profile on next Monday. I can take him and save a trip when Tipper gets her shot. He could also go to laser with Tipper. I can't afford this, but he deserves treatment just as much, and maybe more than Tipper, after all he was here before her, and will be 13 in February. I will be eating sandwiches with peanut butter and jelly if this continues. I am going to make arrangements for Tipper's ultra sound today. Please say some prayers for my girl. Blessings
Patti
Of course I can't help you with the numbers but want to sympathize with you about the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but in my case I may have to forego the jelly.
Sorry to hear about your tabby. It doesn't rain but it pours figuratively and relatively speaking judging by the rain you are getting too.
Definitely thinking about you..and glad Tippers breathing is better.
Hi Everyone:
I am such an idiot, I posted and forgot to put the ACTH results so here we go:
Pre was 0.7
Post was 3.0
So she is down there pretty low.
What do you think of her pre number? Should I do anything about it? Blessings
Patti
Does anyone think Tipper could have sludge in the Gallbladder causing the high ALP? Thanks
Patti
