All the other bloodwork came back good, he checked her kidneys did a sonigram the works. Now if I can just get her to gain the pound back I would feel better. Dang I hate it when they dont feel good. I worry and fret so much. keep her in your thoughts for a few more days please.

I learned something new this weekend. A thyroid screening (T4 and T3) will be low after the body has be stressed whether it be infection, etc. How you would get an accurate answer is to do a thyroid panel.

Hope Suki is doing ok tonight
