Biopsy Results...a little late
The biopsy results came back awhile ago. The specialists don't believe this is genetic, which is good to hear for his parents. They found evidence of fibrosis, which is scarring that will lead to the destruction of the organ. So that's not good news. They also found that his tubules are abnormally shaped. They're not sure why and I don't know what it means for his future.
What I do know is that he's been acting great. He's been vomiting a little bit, which is another symptom and bums me out. However it's mostly because he plays right away after he eats. So I've been crating him for a bit after he eats and he hasn't been vomiting. His activity level is great and he's otherwise healthy. He's a little tired out right now from our walk today. He swam a little and it was cold. But I'm keeping a positive attitude because he's doing great.
I do have some updated pictures on the camera, I just need to get them onto the computer.
The plan right now is to do another blood check in a month or so to see where we stand. I'm really praying that his numbers have at least gone down, if not back into normal ranges. His urine is still dilute though. But we'll see. The only changes so far have been diet and one med. We may look at adding another med and I want him to go see a holistic vet when I start working again. We may have to go to sub-q fluids if his numbers stay high and more symptoms appear. But this disease is kind of a day at a time. And I'll take whatever time with him I can get.
