Health Update on the 3 of us!!!

K so the best of the news first. Monday I went to the Doctor and got released from my back strain. Everything appears to be good with it now.

Now the iffy news.

We took Bullet to the vet last week to get a cortisone shot. Basically to make a long story short we used to think the shots did not work but we were getting desparate due to the constant scratching and him going bald. The vet seen him and then proceded to tell us he thinks Bullet either has a food allergy or a thyroid problem. We have now had him on a new food for 5 days and it is not getting better therefore we will be taking him back at the beginning of the year and testing him for a Thyriod problem.

Yesterday Trent followed up with with Dr. Khim his urologist with the kidney stones. There was no blood or infection in the urine therefore the kidnes stones are gone. Yippee Wonderful Christmas present to him. The only problem is, 1/3 of the stone we sent off for testing was made of Calcium Phosphate which can be a sign of either Kidney or Thyriod problems. The doctor said it is pretty unlikely since only 1/3 of the stone came back with the Calcium phosphate but he did want to be on the safe side and test anyways. We drew some blood the other day and we should have those back at some point next week.

That is about all that is going on these days with us.

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!!!
