we took spivey (9) to the vet this week because I had noticed that she's been drinking more water than usual over the last month or so. she had a full exam, doctor felt nothing unusual and she didn't seem dehydrated (skin snapped back well, eyes looks good).
the vet just called back with her urine/blood results. urine looks good, no signs of kidney issues or diabetes there. her bloodwork looks good EXCEPT for her calcium level. it's 11. i was told that 10.8 is considered high, and she of course is a bit over that. we take her back in 2 weeks to get more blood drawn and to re-check her calcium. if it's still high, they will determine if the cause is a) idiopathic, b) thyroid related, or c) cancer.
please send us good luck vibes. also, any experience or advice in this area is appreciated.
