I just got off the phone with the vet and learned some great news about Jasper’s Cushing’s and liver enzyme results. After increasing his milk thistle, his liver enzymes dropped significantly, although they remain elevated. The good thing about the decrease is that there is almost half of it. It should be said that liver enzymes can go up because a dog is on anticonvulsant medication.
As for the Cushing’s, while Jasper’s resting level is normal, it went up a bit after the Cortisol injection. The vet thinks it could be in the early time of Cushing’s or might have been raised because of diabetes. For now, we’re focusing on keeping the Diabetes under control and looking out for signs of pancreatitis, again so we can act quickly when those things happen to prevent him from losing his appetite and therefore not being able to give him his insulin for those times-it’s really complicated.
I am very relieved and grateful, feeling that my prayers were answered. I shall continue counting every single day I get to spend with him.
I just had to bring everyone into this Pet health journey and updates regarding Jasper’s progress. Your thoughts and support are huge for us!
Thank you to all who support for dog owners with sick pets!
