Default Update so far

Hi spoke to the doctor that did the Ultrasound for the most part she liked the results. Kidneys no significant change.

Spleen enlarged but no masses so she said she isn't concerned it could be due to his medication and stress. She said just monitor with yearly ultrasounds

Adrenal Glands is the issue. They have gotten worse than last year. She said that is not unusual.

She looked over his ACTH numbers from the past year and doesn't like the results. She thinks we need to be more aggressive with medication especially since I have not seen improvement at home.

They are doing an SDMA test as well today. I should have all the results for his visit with his regular vet on Monday evening.

We are going to go over everything and both doctors will consult on the next steps for him.

Overall his quality of life is still good but I just can't imagine my life without him. I wish he would get better. I trust my vet and know he has his best interest. They might call me tomorrow with all the results but I asked them to hold off as I want to meet with them in person and go over everything all at once. If they call me tomorrow and the results aren't good I will only have more anxiety.

Will update on Monday/Tuesday after my visit with the vet.
