Square Dog Friday.... a tale of two gud dugs

It is Friday the best day of the week if your a Square Dog.

But not a gud Friday
Health worries.

The trip to the eye doctors was great.
His adrenaline levels are was down and that is good
but it means he has another drop that has to be given twice a day
beside the other drops and meds.
.
Thursday

We got a last minute appointment for  thehamish at his regular vet.

He has been slowing going down hill and not being his perky self.
.

The x rays were not good.
Enlarged liver, and his stomach is full of fluid.

His diabetes is off somewhat because of his not eating. 

I am constantly watching for signs of elevated mineral levels. 

His kidneys are already wonkey.

So I am now waiting of the blood work Friday morning
Vet = 2 hours
.

thehamish at the vets and not feeling great.
.
Friday
Blood work came back  horrible. Everything is off the charts.
Have a 11 am appointment at the Veterinary Specialty Center.
Ultrasound, blood work, liver biopsy, gallbladder biopsy. Then there is the spleen,
brightly colored, with black spots.  The specialists in over 30 years
have never ever seen anything like it. 
Everything is sent out to the University for testing.
Results will be back Monday and Friday.
Poor little Hamish, he was lightly sedated for all the test but he is home with me.
New med (and his old ones )  plus a super bland diet of rice and chicken.
I have to watch him very close. Some of these meds are as bad as the problems
we are trying to fix, so I have to monitor him for any changes because as a
diabetic he is at increased risk.
Vet = 5 hours

.

Watson has been having more problems with his dementia.

He is getting more confused. But other times he is very puppy like 

and enjoys his play time. 

Last night he jumped off my bed and I could hear him walking
around the house like he used to do many years ago.
Doing his nightly check.

Then he came back to my bed and wined very softly. So at 3 am I let him outside.

He didn't really have to potty so I let him back inside.

I pick him up and put him on the bed. 

Then I petted him and talked to him for a long time.

I don't know how much he can hear, being deaf 

but I talk really close to his head and chest and hope he can feel it.

He then when to sleep and so did I.

.

So this is the tale of two gud dugs.

I will be busy with both dogs this weekend 

so I might be miss reading some blogs.

I will play catch up when I can.

Everyone have a great weekend.
