April 18, 2016 Precious Parris

imageTook Parris to the vet today for excessive drinking and peeing. I thought she had diabetes but the tests showed her sugar levels are fine. The good news is her heart, liver and kidneys are good!! Wednesday she goes back for an all day CUSHINGS Test. CUSHINGS disease is the reverse of ADDISONS. ADDISONS the adrenal gland produces little or no cortisol which regulates the body’s sugar and salt. In CUSHINGS the body produces too much cortisol ( usually a tumor on the gland). Thankfully medication reduces the tumor and all is well. At 13 parts start to fail, if she has to have something, I’m thankful it’s something that can be fixed. All day at the vet tomorrow will be hard on her, she can hear or see so she gets scared when she’s away from me😒 My poor baby girl. I’ll go get her the second they are done with her to minimize her stress.
