We are on our way home from Auburn.

We have a little news. This one is baffling! They tried to draw the fluid off of her lung today to test it and there wasn't any. They said that fluid like this doesnt self correct and the x-rays from Monday definitely showed it. Her protein levels are still low but unchanged. There is some damage to the left lung but it should correct. The ultrasound showed no tumors. We are taking her back to Auburn next week to retest. If her protein levels have corrected then we won't do anything. If they are still low she will either have a scope or exploratory surgery to biopsy her intestines. That's where the protein loss would be coming from. They will also recheck her lung to make sure it's healed.

Leave it to Sadie to baffle Auburn University vet school!

Looks like good news for Sadie! That really is amazing that the fluids resolved like that...but definitely encouraging.

Will keep her and you in my thoughts and prayers.

Update: We went back to Auburn yesterday for a recheck. Sadie's Albumin and Cholesterol were up just a bit but not nearly in the normal range. Based on the improvement and how she's been acting (very energetic) the Dr's decided to not do a scope at this time. I'm to continue to monitor her weight and make sure she's not losing - or gaining fast because that would mean that the fluid is back. I'm going to have our local vet monitor her Albumin levels. If at any time they don't continue to improve we will take her back for the scope. We're not out of the woods yet but everything is looking pretty good! Oh - and the spot on her lung is still there but has improved some. It was enough improvement to convince them that it was from the fluid last week. I'm going to take her in locally next week to have her blood checked again. At least I can breathe a little bit now!!
