It’s been a week since the blood tests with no news, so I called the veterinary hospital to check on results. I left a message and got a call back from one of the technicians. I don’t have details like the actual values to share, but I’m told everything is “perfect.” Lilly is a healthy, healthy, healthy girl with “excellent” thyroid levels, no signs of any adrenal problems, solid kidney, liver, pancreas, etc. numbers. That’s not what’s causing the set-back.
So, I asked the technician for a phone meeting with our veterinarian to discuss a change in Lilly’s anti-depressants since something isn’t working right with the amitriptyline after all these months. I also asked about them arranging a drug-only consult, if they can. Since as long-time readers recall, when I looked into it last year, the cost for a full behavioral consult was prohibitive.
Because of the holiday and our vet’s limited schedule this week, I probably won’t get to chat with him until next week.
So, the GOOD news is that she’s quite healthy. The BAD news is that our “new” plan is still in flux.
I’m happy to hear the blood tests were okay. Keep searching for the answers you need. I know many people who have physical issues and the doctors just don’t know what’s wrong. It must be frustrating. Good luck finding what you need to know for Lilly.
