Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Nope, I didn't work from home today. I went into the office which I'm glad I did since the Marketing Director was in today too. We tease each other about how we each thought the other must have gotten fed up and quit it had been so long since we saw each other. LOL All good and him and I have great yak sessions where we throw ideas around, bantering back and forth like crazy. It's both fun and productive. So that was a bonus. Then I came home and played with molly before logging back into work and taking care of a few items.

I'll work from home tomorrow and then go to the office Thursday and then home on Friday. It's a crazy schedule I admit but it works okay for me.

I'd honestly rather be from home all the time, but that human interaction is important or I could become a hermit!!! I'd hate that, as I am fairly social personality. You guys might have guessed that already. hahaha But I admit I love being home for molly too.

hugs all

Just got a call from my IMS. Molly's UCP ratio is .8 which is a bit elevated. .2 is nothing, .5 is borderline. Recommendation is to retest in 3 - 4 weeks.

I dont think I would even worry about that:):):):) I'm sure it will be fine.

Good idea to recheck to see if it is reproducible. As we have seen if a dog is off then it can throw this darn protein. So annoying to have another thing to worry about! Did she think the stones could be responsible?

Cushings, stones, anything, yes could be the culprit. No infection though, so that was good, although I didn't expect anything there. Molly wasn't acting like she does with an infection, but I guess it always has to be ruled out.

I am currently checking out hotels in Budapest. Looking for an excellent hotel in the city center. Man I love tripadvisor. Remember travel before the internet??!! LOL

Her BP was OK wasn't it?

They took 3 BP, the highest was 144 (138 - 144) So, went down each time they took it and it might be actually lower, as they think white coat syndrome caused the higher readings.

Technically, over .5 retest but gosh, she has kidneys stones, they must play a part in this, at least it seems so to me. What did the IMS say?

She said that the stones, cushings, could be causing it to go up and it might not stay up, but fluctuate. She might have said retest at .5 borderline (ish)? There was an ICU patient so she couldn't talk for more than a few minutes. She said, we're still waiting to see what the UofT panel looks like. She mentioned she'd have the girls email results I'm waiting on (ultrasound report) that there was a problem with the email, so she'd ask them to do it and hope they get it done tonight.

So, that will give us figures and I told her that I want to compare sizes of various things on the ultrasound report.
