The Doris Update

No diabetes.

The BUN level in her blood work was high which is a sign of kidney distress but since she is so young and this was so recent, her prognosis is very good.

She is on a prescription diet to help regulate the levels and we are hoping that is all she will need. The vet feels confident that she will be okay and there is no real need to be gravely concerned (like I was yesterday while on the phone with him), but to just be aware of any other abnormal behaviors.

She had a better evening last night. Daddy bought her and George new chewy bones and just like our Doris, she refused to share and chewed the bone down to nothing then attacked George for his chewy.
