Just got back from the vets office.
Not good news.
She tested low and high in a variety of different things. I can't remember what all of them were. She most definitally has insulinoma. Her glucose level was way too low. I'm taking her in tomorrow late afternoon to have her insulin levels checked, which for some reason didn't get done the first time. If her insulin levels are high, we're going to start her on medication. I really don't think surgery would be the way to go - I'd rather just manage with the Prednizone.
Her red blood cell count is way too low - she is basically anemic. Her white blood cell count is way too high. (This screams cancer to me, but I am praying I'm wrong.) She had a few other wonky readings as well, but I don't remember what they are. The vet made a call over to Purdue to see what they think about the readings and if something is going on besides just the insulinoma. When I dropped by they were still waiting to hear back, but they'll know what is up with the rest of the readings later this evening, or at latest tomorrow morning. Once we know what all we are up against we're going to go from there.
Keep Casey in your thoughts and prayers, please.
