We had our appointment today. He did well yesterday, eating some on his own, but he did also throw up once.

He is on medication for his ears, and had a full workup. Now we wait for results to see what is happening with his thyroid and kidneys. He was such a good boy...I hope the news will be that all is stable. I have my fingers crossed the vomitting will stop as his ears get better.

Well we may have the answer, or it may only be a partial answer. Not sure. despite being on medication already for hyperthyroidism, it has risen significantly from the last time he was tested. So his dose of medication is being doubled. Hopefully, he'll regain his appetite and some weight once the new dose kicks in. It *may* account for the throwing up (he threw up again today, just once so far, watery w/food).

He does have one liver value that is slightly off.

His kidney values are normal!! Both bun and creatinine - I'll be continuing to give him the calcitriol he is on for his early kidney failure..I am convinced this is what is helping him.

So...he's perkier but needs to begin eating and the throwing up needs to stop completely.

I'm sure that you are relieved to know that his current kidney medication is working so well.


I am sending lots of positive vibes that upping Tyler's thyroid dose will do the trick...
Come on Tyler, start eating.

I am so pleased to hear that they show something that might be easily treatable and it is excellent about his kidneys.
