Ellie's results are clear!

Just got back from a vet visit with Ellie to go through her blood test results. And she is negative on everything! The only value that was abnormal was sugar, and it was extremely low. I am of course very pleased, as I was thinking the worst, but it leaves the question of why she is so thin and has been losing weight. The vet wants me to try her on a high protein diet for two weeks, and he has ordered some extra rich Royal Canin wet food that I cannot get in the shops. I will pick it up tomorrow. So I am 200 euros lighter, very relieved and still worried at the same time.

Jenny that is great news...hugs to your sweet girl

I'm so glad everything is clear! Good luck on fattening your beautiful girl up.

That's great news, Jenny and such a relief!

Excellent news!

good news Hope she likes the new food.

So glad all her tests came back ok!



Good luck with the new food.

glad there is nothing major wrong! hope this new food puts some weight on your girl

That's great news! Does your vet think the hypoglycemia is temporary? It would explain her weight loss. I hope the special diet helps to fatten her up.

the vet wants to follow this new diet and see if it is temporary. He says it could be just that she hadn't eaten for a few hours before the blood test. I picked up the new food today and she loves it. I have never seen her eat so quickly. Mind, I was holding the others back, despite their all having food - they all seemed to like the smell. Meals are going to have to be closely supervised for a while.

good news all round, and even more so that she is eating.......

I should have said that her new diet is Royal Canin Convalescent formula in sachets. I think it is only available through vets - I have never seen it before. It is horribly expensive - I hope I don't have to keep her on it for too long!
