It's me, the crazy dog lady again.
I took the morning off and took Crash back to the vet because he was not only getting worse but on Monday I discovered that he couldn't see.
He's not ancient. He's only 9 years old so this isn't old age setting in, this is something more.
Just to refresh your memory; the vet has treated him for hypothyroidism and a ruptured disk in his back.
The pain medication didn't seem to help much and I couldn't tell if the thyroid medication was working.
Today, the vet took a look at him, listened to what I had to say about his symptoms and concluded that he just didn't know what was going on.
He did inform me that in the last x-ray, he noticed a mass in his abdomen but didn't think it was anything serious. Now, he's not so sure.
He's referred me to an internist in Houston and sent me home with his x-ray and a copy of his file and lab report.
This is a specialist and is known to be VERY expensive. Hopefully, I won't have to sell my kidney to pay the bill.
Just in case, is ebay letting people auction off internal organs anymore?
I'm a little worried because this mass could easily be the cause of all the problems he's been having. It's possible it could be cancer and God help me if my furry little baby has cancer!
Anyway, I've got an appointment with the million dollar internist on Tuesday. Keep your fingers (or any appendage of your choice) crossed for us!
