Sedated Freddie !

After a number of health episodes in 2017, Freddie was finally diagnosed with Cushings Disease in January 2018. Cushings effects his adrenal and pituitary glands, and also causes skin and coat issues which was the final clue to help identify it.

Fred has responded well to medication, but he needs ultrasounds and bloodwork every 6 months to monitor his health.

Freddie doesn’t like to be still or pinned down so he need to be sedated for the ultrasounds and the poor guy is always in a daze for the next few hours.

Initial reports for the ultrasound are positive, no major changes since his last one which is good news. Hoping to hear from the vet tomorrow to confirm that with the bloodwork and continue with our current course of treatment.
