I know you all know this know - but what an amazing group of people. A day doesn't go by that someone here is dealing with tough decisions, in a panic/crisis, dealing with loss, needing advice on myriad issues, or soooo happy because the bad situation has turned around or their ball of fur has gone OTJ. AND this group surrounds us with words of wisdom, incredible depth of knowledge, hope and encouragement. I am in awe each day as I see the increasing number of people that are joining. Such a lot of energy and so many people helping each other. This board is a bright spot and when I make my mental list each day of things that I am thankful for and that make me happy - this group is always included. Thank you.

So Pedro won't have his Cushing results back till later this week. They have to send the test out - didn't for my dog but it is differerent for cats - what else is new? He also ran a new blood panel, urine test, and another pancreatitis test. Wants to see where he is at now vs. previous numbers. Once all results are in we will have a talk. Will be next week as I will be out of town. He was pleased with the fact that Pedro is gaining back weight and eating better. Felt overall he was just doing "better" and Pedro didn't try to kill all the techs when they had to draw blood three time throughout the day. They didn't have to muzzle him - said he was just in a much better mood. I think part of the issue the last two times he was in there was that he was sick and felt awful so didn't want anyone touching him. Of course last night his BG was 138 but since he was just back from the vets-

I'll see where he is at BG tonight and if he is going back down to where he's been I'll start his (shhh)OTJ trial when I leave Thursday nailbite_smile

And yes Sienne, someone will probably have to come and do an intervention and take my needles away.
 
LOL!!! Thought so!

At least from his behavior, it sounds like Pedro is feeling better. I hope the lab tests bear that out. I just hate waiting for results!
 
:lol: I had a problem giving up the testing....the needles were easy for me to forget about but the testing...ahhhh....THAT was another story! I was always so curious as to what Raja's numbers were when we were on her trial....I wanted to test here every hour on the hour! :shock:

Glad Pedro did so well yesterday! I agree that he must be feeling better and therefore is not so upset when people try to touch him. As Libby said, YOU are very in tune with him and you know best what is going on with him! There's nothing to do now but wait for all the results...hope you have a wonderful day....that was a very nice post Amy....very, very nice...and you wrote it in such a perfect way. Described how I feel about the forum too....

HUGS to you and Pedro...he did great and so did YOU!! :YMHUG: You can relax for a bit in anticipation of the excitement to come. Did you send D a lot of pictures of Pedro yet? We need lots of pictures for our files...shhhh...not for any other reason but that we just need them..... :lol:
 
Best of luck on all the results, and it's a relief to hear that Pedro is doing all around better; you can't ask for more than that - improvement of any kind, no matter how small, is a good thing.

I am also glad to hear that no vet techs were fatally harmed with the draws; I bet the techs were relieved to see that Pedro felt better too!

And about that testing, that's not needed, how about if you promise yourself some treats, if you are a good lil' bean and pass on the extra tests? Make it worth your while, like put the money for each saved strip into a jar and save up for treats for you AND for Pedro!
 
What a great post! I am elated to read that Pedro is doing better, and feeling better. Wonderful news! I wish for good test results - I too hate the waiting: never been very good at that part...
 
What a good boy he is! We are so happy he came through this well & hoping for positive results!!
Sending you HUGS and what a great momma bean you are Amy!! Get Better Pedro! :mrgreen:
