Pele Update

[hsifeng]

I called my vet today and left a message for a notation to be added to charts that included a phone consult on a thyroid test, inflammatory disease panel and lumbrosacral stenosis.  Weird as it sounds, I am sorta hoping for the later since it appears that it may be controllable with injections and may not be as likely to progress despite treatment the way that DM seems to.

EDIT: Just got off the phone with Jim of GAC. That man is a wealth of information! He referred me to his San Diego vet (who is also the medical directory of the organization) and I will be having my doctor call her as soon as possible to go over what we can do next for Pele.

Little girls is resting happily at present - she hates all the supplements that Mommy is making her take. I am going to try mixing them into some peanut butter and putting them in her Kong instead on making her swallow them. I am sure she will appreciate it!

Thank you honey, with the information from Jim in the hands of our vet, I am waiting to hear back on her news from the DVM in San Diego. I am curious to see what the review of Pele's last thyroid test will show: Greyhounds test low on a 'standard thyroid test' - so if her results were mid or high range (even in the 'acceptable results' scores) then she is actually way over for her breed.

*fingers crossed that this is just a thyroid issue*
