Jan. 13: I just received an email with the following info from Spooky’s vet:
“Spooky’s CBC, chemistry, and total T4 were normal so he is not diabetic or hyperthyroid. His urinalysis showed many red blood cells and transitional cells, some with multiple nuclei, in the sediment. This may be due to a severe inflammatory process or tumor in his urinary bladder or his kidneys.”
My brain is processing. Both this news and the following estimate: $160-$700 in ultrasounds, x-rays, and radiologist consults. At the low end of that estimate, they can do an ultrasound of Spooky’s bladder to look for a tumor. I guess that will probably be the next step.
