[nagdu] update on Garbo

[Dan Weiner]

I once thought one of my dogs had Kushing's disease because he was getting
older and drinking huge amounts of water, I mean I didn't think that, the
vet did, so they gave him a water deprivation test.
Nothing was conclusive however, but just in case I was giving Evan, my dog
at the time, some medicine to make his urine more substantial.

It turned out he had a tumor on his spleen, though no one was quite sure how
that ld to his drinking amazing amounts of water.
I had it removed, the tumor and the spleen and he lived two more years, he
was already elevan and a half at the time.

I hope that's not the case and whatever happens let us know.

Yours,

Dan the man with Parker the hound

Hi all,
Well unfortunately we don't know much yet, other than there is definitely a
problem with Garbos kidneys.
I'm terrified still.
The vet sounded scared for her.
She wouldn't tell me much more than her kidney values were not what they
should be and that they are sending her blood to a more advanced labratory
for free to make sure the original is correct, and get more tests done.
I'll know more Monday or Tuesday.
They are saying kidney disease/failure, addisons disease, and a couple other
things right now.
I'll update everyone as I know, for now we're just keeping her quiet and
clean, they don't want her stressed or anything like that.
Thanks so much for the prayers and good vibes.
Jessica and my sweet girl.
