I spoke to the Vet today and Thumper was negative for Cushing's Disease. That is the good news. The bad news is that the doctor feels his kidneys may be getting worse. If it is not the kidneys it can be one of two things diabetes insipidus or psychogenic polydipsia. I am speaking with my main vet on Friday when he is back in the office to discuss those two possibilities. (Though my fear is that the kidneys are getting worse)


I am not sure which diagnosis I am hoping for. At this point I just want answers instead of all this guessing.


I scheduled Thumper for an ultrasound on Tuesday evening. The vet that does it is not my normal vet at the practice so I am going to consult with the both of them once they view the imaging.


I was told if the vet doing the procedure feels the images need to be viewed by a specialists they will send the results out and consult with a board certified internist. It all depends on what is found.


I am extremely worried about Thumper. He is my baby and I am not ready to lose him.
