Well we do not have any results from the labs done today on Sadie. BUT... the lump on her stomach was a bot fly/larvae. that infested below her skin. Oh how gross! I didn't see it but my husband said they showed it to him in a clear little bag. So that was good it wasn't anything major. the vet said it happens.. apparently they are usually carried on rabbits. we do live in the country here in texas so I guess anything is possible. I am more concerned with the owls that have been spotted. One a few weeks ago the neighbor saw on top of their roof. they said it was a good 3 ft tall if not more. The hawks and coyotes scare me too. I try to be outside with them each time yet I do not think I would scare the hawks away from something if they wanted it bad enough. I have only seen one recently and it literally took my breath away it was so big. It probably had a wing span of at least 4-5 FEET! I will post more as soon as we get the results back. vet is testing for addisons disease and also pancreatis.

If nothing after these tests- she is referring us to a specialist. she also said that Sadie does have PLN when we asked her about it. Funny that she never mentioned that to us until my husband said something about what we had found on a link that was sent to me on that.

Her blood pressure today was 230. still too high. vet is currently researching an alternative med that she could be on to lower the bp.
