Ella had her first visit to the vet today. She has been diagnosed with untreated Cushing’s disease. While that's not the best diagnoses, at least she was not burned as many of us thought.
She has been placed on two different herbal supplements. Liver Guard and Adrenosol. I was told it will take 3 to 4 weeks for the herbal supplements to build up in her system. At that time we hope to see the belly bloating, starting to reduce and also the excessive thirst and urination to decrease. The vet was confident that her hair should grow back, but unfortunately it will be 3 months or more before we even see anything happening there.
She is friendly but understandably guarded with her body at this time. There are not many places to pet, but I have been rubbing her ears and she seems to enjoy that. She follows me around everywhere and doesn't miss a thing. And to top it all off, I received my first kisses today!
