His gut shakes when you touch it he may have an intestinal irritation with his irritable bowel, but the Xrays showed no twisting and the Gas X probably helped the vet said but he had to get a shot for calming the gut and has some pain pills to take. Tramadol. He is resting now.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Busters bloodwork finally came back the lab forwarded it to a Pathologist and they think Buster may have leukemia or lymphoma but when we sent an aspiration from his lymph nodes they came back normal so we are perplexed. His thyroid is very low so we are treating the thyroid and will do another blood panel in 30 days. The vet says maybe if the thyroid is not working it could make his whole metabolism out of whack and that is why his white blood cells and lymphocytes are so high. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have been to the vet five times this past week with Cinch, Stewie, Stinky, Buster, & Sampson, and looks like more vetting in our near future but we just want to keep these hounds safe and comfortable throughout the rest of their lives. <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
