Good News For Spencer

AmyB · 03-29-2008, 11:27 PM

You may remember that Spencer recently gave me a scare - the vet suspected Lymphoma first & then Cushings (due to a very abnormal blood test result). When all tests came back negative & Spencer's behavior & eating returned to normal, the vet admitted she was at a loss for what was going on. She suggested waiting a month & re-doing the blood tests, which we did this past week. The results came back & in the vets words "could not be more perfect." I am thrilled, but still puzzled about what went on. But, he seems ok. The only problem he was still having was he occasionally leaked urine at night. He is now taking Cystolomine, which seems to have cured that problem.

Now we are just waiting for some nice weather. It is still pretty cold in Cincy. I was looking at some pics from last summer & found this one of Spencer sitting in our backyard. I like it because Spencer just looks so happy in it.
