HI Everyone,

Took my Bailey to his vet today, did another set of X-rays b/c the Vet Hospital we took him to in the middle of the night on Saturday were less than enthused and not quick on the uptake to send over his records and the Xrays I had already gotten done

So we didnt want to have to wait on them. The X ray that his vet showed was an enlarged liver and the bloodwork showed elevated lypase. She is suspecting Cushings Disease based on his symptoms, pancreatitis-which they did a blood test for OR liver cancer. We are waiting for the bloodwork to come back and go from there. If pancreatitis is NEG, then we will do an ultrasound of the liver to see if it is cancer.

Please pray its not the worse!!

Right now she sent him home with under the skin hydration and pain meds.

I will keep u posted!!!

Thanks everyone!!
