The results of the UCCR test should be back on Monday I think. Even if I get a negative UCCR test, it seems that it only rules out Cushing's for now. I still wanted to do it for what it is worth. The ursadiol is being shipped from the compounding pharmacy in Arizona so we won't have it until mid week. I didn't ask if it is for life, I try not to think that far ahead or it gets me crazy.

In two weeks, due to an ingredient change in his home cooked diet, his liver enzyme ALT returned to normal and his ALP dropped 223 points. His urine came out normal with very low cortisol and my vet is interpreting the test as negative for Cushing's at this time.

So my little baby boy only has a little old man liver. I took this photo of him yesterday, he is such a good boy

Very good news! Barney is a beautiful boy. Hard to believe he is an "old man."

Awwww! This good boy is blessed with such a good mommy.

I'm happy to hear his levels have improved so much, and the vet considers him negative for Cushing's.

Sending that sweet little face lots of extra kissens.
