Well, seems as all your well-wishes and finger crossings paid off. I was eager to pick up my 4 yr old girl at the vet yesterday and when the doctor came in, she had only real good news to tell. Now, even though Frostie is beginning to loose hair on her tail and her back hair is thinning, the blood work and x-rays were well within normal ranges. We could not rule out insulinoma yet. Her blood sugars were lower, but not in a danger area (105). However she did eat before going to the vet that morning which could have caused her levels to rise. We discussed that I would just keep a eye on her and if I notice that her signs seem to get worse, we will do a fasting-blood work test (no food for 4-6 hours before the blood draw). That supposably will give us a better view at what her levels really are. Another thing that was noticed was on the x-ray, her heart was slightly enlarged. Again the vet said that it was not at a alarming size so she was not going to prescribe any heart meds. Her spleen was curling under one of her other organs, but it too was not large enough to signify any meds. So I may be $173 deeper in debt, but at least Frostie will not have to undergo surgery for a while. She was so happy to get home and her sister was very glad to see her back. I hope everyone on this list is as lucky as me for the holidays! Have a great holiday season! Tammy Graves [Posted in FML issue 4003]
