Danny went for his ultra sound and blood work this morning. He had to check in by 8am. They said the Drs. are at lunch from 12 to 2pm so I paced around all day worrying about Danny. I did plant the rest of my flowers. I put the portulacas along the side walkway near the front and the rest of the impatiens were planted along the back of the house. It is the south side but shaded by the tall oak trees out back.
They finally called at almost 3pm so I went over to get him. I had to wait for Dr. Blakeman as she had another patient. They finally called me and put me in an exam room. An attendant brought Danny in. He was happy to see me and was very hyper and active. I could hardly hold on to him. The attendant forgot to bring his leash so I opened the back door and looked to see if I could see the leash or someone to get it for me. Danny ran out the door, down the hall, and into the lobby behind the desk. I think he wanted to hide somewhere but there was no where to hide.
I got ahold of him and carried him back to the exam room. Dr. Blakeman came in and went over the results of the tests. The ultra sound show everything was normal except for some small cysts on his liver. This was normal for older dogs. His blood work showed a slightly high level of sugar but he had no sugar in his urine so she could diagnose diabetes. Another decease was ruled out because he did not have a bloated belly and he is not overweight. She was puzzled by all this. She gave me a supplement for Danny's liver and I have to go back with a urine sample in three weeks. We just have to monitor Danny and watch for any other symptoms. He seems to be feeling much better. He had been bounding up the steps and in the door. He had jumped up on the bed and sofa and has even played with his toy Zanie bone. He seems back to normal. I just hope he stays that way.
