good news is that zowi is home! she is not 100% herself, but she seems much better than yesterday morning! she was given a cerenia injection to control vomiting, sent home with zeniquin (antibiotic), and famotidine pepcid ac for upset tummy / gas / constipation.
but then some more bad news. in addition to pancreatitis, her thyroid is low (hypothyroidism) and she will need to take l-thyroxine once a day for that. we will recheck her thyroid, cholesterol, and triglyceridesin 1 month she will continue denamarin and hmr lignans daily. my poor baby will be taking 6 medications a day now.
a permanent diet has not been decided on yet, but for the next week zowi has to eat only prescription diet w/d from the vet. i just fed her when i got home and she did eat the whole serving, as she did for the vet techs this morning.
the next plan of treatment for the cushing's itself will be determined upon results from her endocrine panel to tennessee. last time it took the full 2 weeks to get the results so that's what i am expecting this time too. our dr will have a phone consult with university drs to discuss what treatment they recommend after her results are in.
THANK YOU!!!! to each and every one of you for your advice, well wishes, and prayers. they really mean so much. i worked all day and want to give zowi all my attention or i would respond to each one of you right now but i did want to update. i know you guys understand! its so sad to see them when they're sick but at least she's home with us! pixie was so happy to see her too!
