So we went to the internist today...... the vet was very worried about her weight loss so they did a total sonogram of her abdomen and all her organs the good news is there is no cancer! Her liver and adrenal glands are slightly larger but that is due to her Cushings. We were going to do that scope of her nose and they always take a biopsy when they do that. Well they went to take her blood pressure and it was way to high like top number should be 120 and hers was 220. They brought her out to me to hold for 15 minutes and then wanted to recheck the blood pressure but there was no change. With the high blood pressure there would have been a higher risk of heavy bleeding from the biopsy site so we need that to go down. They put her on 2 blood pressure medicines as well as a very strong antibiotic. We go back next Monday at 9am and they will take blood pressure and if good they will do the scope. It is also looking like the more natural way of treating her cushings is no longer working so we will need to decided whether to put her on the prescription medicine which will require lots of testing.
