Ultrasound!

I brought Oreo in for an ultrasound.

GOOD NEWS!

The mass on the xray is NOT a tumor.

He has a cyst on his kidney.  Our vet drained fluids from his cyst, those fluids will be going to the lab for a fluid analysis.

We will wait for the results to see what kind of cells they are...

We hope it is NOT cancer cells or any kind of disease that we cannot remove surgically.

After results comes in...he suggests doing an exploratory surgery.

If necessary...they will remove the bad kidney...

His blood results came in...

He is anemic.  Dr. does not know why...

His thyroid is low...so we will discuss about lowering his dosages for methamazole.

We do not need to treat his anemia YET...but in the future we will.

He's staying overnight for IV treatment to prep for tomorrow's surgery.

So far...We've paid $340 for blood work, Xrays...

Today...Overnight stay is $145.  Ultrasound $185. Fluid Analysis $165. 

IV fluids $20++

Will keep you all updated.

Yes...I am aware that he is 17 years old.  But again...Oreo...is a fighter. And I will continue to cheer him on during this battle.  I'm not ready to give up until his eyes tell me that enough is enough.  I'm not the cat owner that is going to keep him around for my benefit...rather just to extend his life because it's not his time...

Until tomorrow....

Please keep him in your prayers! <3
