I drop Thumper off on Monday for an overnight stay as the Cushing test is 8 hours long and I cannot take off from work. I will pick him up after work on Tuesday and hopefully have the results by Wednesday/Thursday.
Please keep him in your prayers. I am going to be a nervous wreck this week. He is getting extra hugs and kisses from me tonight. 
The Vet said if everything comes back normal than the next step will be an Ultrasound but she wanted to rule out all other possibilities and perform less expensive test before ordering an ultrasound.
My main vet is off until Saturday so I spoke to his colleague. I will speak to my main vet on Monday before the test and discuss a game plan of next steps.
In a weird way I am kind of hoping it is Cushing's Disease and not a progression of his Kidney Disease because with Cushing's I can monitor it with medication. |
Which test are they doing that is 8 hours? Callie only had to be at the vet a few hours for hers.
