Tuesday night, January 31st, 8:06 PM: Buford's vet called with his test results. We wanted (yes WANTED) it to be a problem with his pancreas because we knew we could treat it. His pancreas was fine.
So were his B-12 levels....BUT:
His Folate levels were HIGH! We have a digestive problem--hence the chronic diarrhea, the ravenous appetite and all the water. He was eating, eating, eating and not absorbing any nutrients. He was drinking, drinking, drinking, and not getting rid of the bad bacteria in his intestinal tract.
So, 6 weeks (or more) of antibiotics to kill off the "bad" bacteria so that the "good" bacteria has a chance to grow back....
But we're not done. He needs to go get an ultrasound of his abdomen to rule out any "abnormalities."
....I'm losing my mind.
