Well, it's been three weeks since Frasier had the culture for ringworm done. I called Thursday and was told that the results weren't back yet, but that the vet would call me today.
To my hand Frasier feels less heavy, so I am thinking that his fluid/fat content has been decreasing. Very good news if it's true. I haven't checked his urine in a week, but last time it gave the same result (high ketones and possibly high glucose if the ketones are masking the result).
But what's accelerating is his fur loss. That he drinks so much has allowed me to get good photos of the area in question so you can see what I mean.
Before:
Now:
He's still himself, but something is clearly going on. I so want to just sit down with this little guy and let him run on me, but I have to keep him in isolation till I know what this is to protect Ethel (and perhaps myself) from it.
Anyway, I hope to find out something today. Oh--that reminds me that I should call and tell them to call me at home rather than at work or on my cell phone. Let me go do that. . . . meanwhile, can anyone speculate as to what this is?
