Vet Visit

Well, today I went to da vet. It wuzn't too bad - da vet Dr. Caleb and da vet tech Brooke seemed pretty nice. Well, for vets anyways, MOL. I wuz my normal well-behaved self - I never give da vets any attitude. My heart rate and blood pressure were a bit high, but that wuz probably da stress. Momma brought in a sample of my nasty bloody diarrhea and dey are gonna run some tests on it. Dey also stole some of my bloods and my pee (which wuz highly concentrated and maybe had a lil blood in it) for tests. Da results are being sent off since they are a lil more accurate than running them in-house and dey are supposed to be back tomorrow (or Friday at da absolute latest). Dey also weighed me - I am down to 10.5 pounds. I wuz 13.2 in March and 14.8 at my highest, so I has lost a LOT of weight very quickly. Da vet felt my tummy and didn't feel any tumors, but that doesn't rule out da dreaded C-word either.

We are gonna have to wait until then to start figguring out what might be wrong. Da vet thought da parasites were unlikely since I are an inside-only guy and that it probably wuzn't a food insensitivity since I eat a high-quality wet food and mix up proteins. Da numbers will tell us more and maybe help da vet rule out some things. But I might need some more diagnostics like an ultrasound - kinda depends on what da tests say and if I respond well to whatever treatments they are gonna try (like steroids to help wif inflammayshun). So momma drove me home and we just hung out this afternoon which wuz nice. We're hoping we can get this figgered out (and hopefully resolved) soon.
