Part 2 of 2......
Well called the Vet at 10am and was told that her (muffin) liver, kidneys and blood sugars were all normal....I joked with the doctor that was great who needed to take care of both a diabetic mom and dog...
But her thyroid is low and so is her red blood cells...Out of 30-60 range on rbc's for a dog her age and weight, she is 18...Not a good thing.... He's doing another test on the rbc's to find out why they are so low..... And another thyroid test but that is a two day test.....So now were are back at square 1 not knowing what is wrong with her.....He wants to put her on pregnazone(a steroid) for her breathing which may or may not help her heart....He seems to think it will...Her white blood cells are high or really where they should be so she is not fighting an infection or no sign of cancer...The wbc's would be very high in either case....
So there you have it... I wont be on tonight to talk to you about it more but this is what the vet said to me....
Here's hoping I don't need my dad to make that decision after all
