The test for Cushing’s disease was inconclusive. We took her back to the vet and, after a lot of drama, she submitted to a blood pressure test. Her blood pressure is very high, potentially caused by the tumour in her adrenal gland. We are now administering beta blockers and monitoring her condition.
If her health improves, this may be a sign that she needs surgery to have the tumour removed; if her health fails to improve, this is likely a sign that the vet has no idea what’s wrong with her. Neither outcome is particularly good.
The one silver lining is that the pills are fairly cheap: only $7.50, which can be funded from my $20 dog budget.
Also, a small cause for celebration. I’ve survived the first week!
So far we’ve raised $11,315, which puts us well on course to raise a full year’s minimum wage salary by the end of January.
Suck on that, Bono!
