Thoughts for Sadie Brown Girl

[georgeharrison]

James got off work early and took Sadie to the vet for her "UTI."  The vet thinks it's some sort of metabolic disease instead of a simple UTI. He specified Cushing's or Diabetes.  They are doing a full blood panel and a urinalysis.  We should find something out tomorrow.  I'm, obviously, so upset.  I'm not sure if we should tell Tman that something might be up.  I don't want it to be a big surprise to him if she ends up really sick, but I also don't want him to get worked up if it's nothing major. 

I've had a gut feeling for a little while that something was wrong, so I will be shocked if the tests come back saying that it's just a UTI.

I feel like I need to justify this request when so many PEOPLE are struggling, but I know you guys know how loved the pets are. 

Right now, I'm hoping it's diabetes.  I had a cat that had diabetes and I know what to do/expect.  But anything else, I'd be at a loss and we are leaving in 9 days and...ugh.  I'm scared.

Here's a photo James took of her on the way home today.

sorry to hear that, I hope she's ok!

That's so tough. I would wait until you hear from the vet tomorrow before telling Tman anything. Waiting 24 hours won't change anything and it may eliminate unnecessary anxiety if it turns out to be nothing major.

Sending tons of good vibes that if it is anything its easy to manage. Pet illness is hard to handle, just like with kids

Poor girl I hope there is a clear diagnosis, and it's something manageable.

Agree with monsterz, wait until you have an actual diagnosis to tell Tman anything as there's no need to have him anxing, too.

Healthy vibes for SBG that it is something easily managed!!
