As part of our ongoing effort to Find Out What’s Wrong With Tucker, we recently got him an ultrasound. It didn’t turn up much except that his adrenal gland was slightly enlarged, which if I remember correctly is what caused us to put him on the milk thistle and Sam-E. The new supplements seem to be helping with his energy, so that’s good. The side effect is that he now has a two-tone paint job, just like my car.
The adrenal is ever so slightly enlarged, but the additional blood test did not show a problem with it. It is his elevated alkphos and alt levels (liver enzymes) that we are trying to get down.
Dude! Tucker you look funny! Don’t let Dennis tease you about your haircut, ok? I remember the last time I got shaved like that … I came home from the vets with less “parts” then I went with. I never did find them again. Your friend, Cosmo
Poor Tucker – you look like Dakota did when she had her ultrasound. Took almost 15 months for her coat to grow back. Any thought given to Cushing’s or Addison’s?
The shaved look is very fashionable. But we don’t like the sound of anything being out of whack. Purring hard that all settles back to what it should be.
Ah tommy tutone is in now. Tucker, get well and get up to play again, k?
I love the tutone thing, I may hightlight or lowlight my fur for summer.
Cheers!

Hi Tucker
Despite the ultrasound, the ladies love the bald belly look. Be careful… they won’t stop rubbing it.
