Ladybug surgery

I’m so confused. Maybe it’s an off day because I was at work and it was cold and rainy? The elura hasn’t always seemed to affect her that much sometimes it seems to help more than others and one day she ate about 200 cal without it. Maybe I should get the testing? Or just start the steroid and see if that helps and then get testing at primary vet or go back to IM? Lol now she ate a bit of dry. Sometimes it’s like I have to hand feed her like she forgets or is holding out for wet? But shes always liked dry way more? Idk she’s been like this in the past where some days she eats a lot and some days nothing or waits until overnight to eat and won’t eat when I’m not here. She’s so neurotic but I love her. Maybe she’s just been sick longer than I thought

Thank you! Yeah idk if I should just get everything done here. I’m thinking no gi panel pending what happens when I remove more meds. I can always try the GI med they recommended first too to see if it helps. I will see what doc says tho. Yeah this place is so expensive I’m just like but I know the cardio price is similar to the cardio I saw before and I like the people here better and I just wanna get the acth done at the same time. I think they also wanna do recheck blood work on her too. I’ll know more when I talk to them before the appt. Thanks!!!!!!

I think skipping the GI panel is reasonable at this point. If you can stretch to a full blood work on top of the ACTH and echo, it would be a good idea to see how her other organs are holding up after the surgery. If you can't, then making sure her remaining adrenal has bounced back is a priority...and anything heart-related is, of course, priority too.

Shouldn’t have said anything. Didn’t give her elura today and came home to absolutely nothing but 25 cal of wet food eaten I’m so so upset. Whenever I think she’s getting better she just gets worse

There's going to be ups and downs. She's been through a major surgery - the kind of thing that takes humans months to really recover from. I know cats bounce back fast, but we can't expect perfect after only a few weeks.
