Armani went to see our regular vet this morning and his lab work was fine. She suggested we test him for Addison's....discussed doing the ACTH stim test.

I had called the vet nutritionist on my way to the vet and had made an 11AM appointment with her to discuss possible dietary issues. When we got there, she suggested doing a snap cortisol level. So, we did that and he is fine! No Addisons!

He could possibly have an allergy to fish (that is part of his diet) but we are only going to do one change at a time. He is on metronidazole now and she added a probiotic. If he has issues after these meds, we will change his protein source probably to chicken.

Olivia has been eating well...seems fine now.
