Bit of COL magic please... Update pg 6

[MaggieR]

Well that all happened a bit quicker than I was expecting.... call from the other surgery this morning and dropped Maggie off for an ultrasound at lunchtime today.   One shaved belly (Wendy.... might need a bit of magic blending in in a few weeks!)  later and the good news is that he found no abnormal growths to worry about.  Her liver is smaller than he would expect tho, and that could be down to a number of things, worst being a chronic hepatitis type problem... but also possibly just genetic.  He is going to speak to my normal vet and discuss his findings with all the blood results to define a plan - but he thinks it will be a case of putting her on some liver support medication and rerunning bloods and scan in 6-8 weeks, possibly taking a biopsy of her liver if the bloods indicate a continuing decline inspite of the medication.
So will wait to hear from my vet and then I suspect it will be a waiting game again.  Thanks again for your support.... Maggie would say thanks but she's crashed out after being tranquilised with ACP? so they could do the scan

I've only just read about Maggie. Hopefully the vet's diagnosis and treatment will get her sorted out.

They are such a worry aren't they 

Sending you both lots of

Just want you to know that all fingers,paws and hooves crossed here that this is just a transient problem with her liver and that the ultrasound comes back clear:)   Its so difficult to not know what's wrong or how serious it is. Hope you get an appointment soon, the waiting is awful. I'm sure it'll be good news Cooper sends wags and woofs

Sorry, somehow I missed your last post We in Africa are always a step behind So glad they didn't find anything sinister on Maggie's ultrasound The hair takes a little while to regrow and they look a bit odd for a while

[Ninasmum]

Thanks for the update Lisa 
My wish for Maggie would be that its just her shaved belly that needs to regrow   
So pleased to hear she hasn't any nasty tumours & i hope the vet can shed some more light on a diagnose for her 
Lots of caring cuddles & positive thoughts from all of us 

[Poppsie]

[janandted]

Oh that's great news   so pleased it is nothing sinister and hopefully will only need close monitoring      from Mollie and me  

[LottieLu]

Bless her  , give her a squidge from me, and a big one of these for you 

[ejp]

That's a big scary thought dealt with then, it's always the elepahnt in the room.  Glad you heard back so quickly.  Hope Maggies tummy fur regrows soon 

[Patp]

Great news and glad to hear that it might be manageable.  I think in the 9 short months I have had Jinley I think I have worried about her more than I did for all 3 of my children.  If you ask my children they say I have!!

Sending lots of  and 

Pat and Jinley

Gentle squidges to you both- glad there were no nasties but sorry there wasnt a definitive answer. So glad she is home with you where she belongs xx  PS Fred has been shaved god knows how many times and it is surprising how quickly it grows back so hopefully it wont be long til she is back to her 'usual' self xx
