Default Tonight's Update

Hello everyone! Thank you for ALL of the well wishes, the help, and the support. Today just seemed to drag. I finally heard back from the vet at 4 today. I would have posted sooner but I went and picked my baby up and got some food myself. Here's what we found out.

They ran a urinalysis- came back with magnesium crystals. He wants to put him on a magnesium reduced diet. But that will be discussed tomorrow.
They ran a stool sample- came back clean.
They xrayed him- he couldn't find any blockages.
They use barrium and xrayed him- they wanted to watch his GI track and they found that it is running like it is suppose to be.

He has ruled out diabetes (thank god!). He wants me to bring Jack in tomorrow for an acid bile test. He thinks that it has to do with the liver. He wants to check how it is functioning. If this is not it, he thinks it more than likely will be a digestion fuction issue (like he isn't absorbing proteins and stuff). But that will be discussed tomorrow after we find out about his liver.

Right now, he just ate a whole can of dog food again! I think he would eat more if I gave him the chance. I might try to give him a bit more later if he will eat. He's curled up on my lap shaking. I'm not sure if it has to do with his problems or because he's so dang skinny that he's cold. But it so nice to have him home again. It's seemed so empty here. I'm going to try to take a nap with Jack. I'm exhausted from worrying. I will update again tomorrow after the vet visit.
