Thanks all. Jessie goes back to vet on Friday afternoon, meanwhile they are going to talk to the hospital she was in earlier this year again, hopefully before Friday. Our vet is confident it is not Addisons as she has had so many blood tests it would have been confirmed by now, but apparently many of her symptoms do align with that diagnosis and was mentioned as a possibility by them (hospital) when she was in there, so a chat with the hospital might throw more light on what exactly it is she has wrong with her. Either way the steroids are helping hugely but hoping they will lower the dose again Friday as she is so hungry poor thing, her teeth are chattering away every time anyone goes near the dog food prep area.
Bertie meanwhile continues to be very vocal, demanding attention the moment anyone steps out of the back door. Can't remember who suggested about the Cushings test, but that will be done at some point soon,my vet wanted to wait until he is not quite so stressed and more back to his normal self. I think after his escapades the other night I can confidently say he is definitely more his usual over confident attention demanding self, thank goodness.
Great news Mrs J, the cushings test if affected if they are stressed so you wouldn’t get a correct reading … let’s hope he calms down soon so you can get it done . for Jessie as well
Brilliant update. Hoping Jessie picks up enough to reduce the steroids soon. I remember our old JRT was on huge doses of steroids for 3 months. She cruised the house like a shark looking for anything to eat. Xx
Only just caught up, what an emotional turmoil of a time you are having, really tough I hope the 4-legged continue to improve, and the special 2-legged can be at peace with whatever the future holds x
