Thanks for getting back to me. Today was another day of down time with Cheyenne. I'm trying to make sure she is getting rest. She forgets she has had surgery and is ready to play with Cody!
My vet showed me a chart of the blood work. The blood sugar was very high -- way higher than everything else that they tested for. I will be honest in that I didn't ask a lot of questions about anything else that was listed. I was more concerned at that point about how Cheyenne was doing post-surgery since she was already in my arms. I wish they had discussed this with me on the phone or before they brought her out. He just said he felt it was related to stress and that it would probably be better in 2 weeks when they test her again. And that there is a slight chance it could be diabetes or cushings but I shouldn't worry. Well . . . of course, on the car ride home that's all I thought about.
As far as drinking a lot of water, Cheyenne has always drank way more water than Cody. She probably urinates just as much as he does. (Cody is my 2.5 year old male.) I don't know what is normal for her age. The vet did ask me the same question. I don't think she drinks water excessively just more than we were used to with Cody.
I'll try and do a little research online before I go in to the vets office in 2 weeks. I just want to be a little more prepared. I wondered if anyone out there in yorkietalk had a dog with diabetes or cushings.
Thanks again for any help.
Dawn
Cody
and Cheyenne
