Wallace has got his referral appointment tomorrow morning at 10am and he's going here instead http://www.any-uk-vet.co.uk/cgi-bin/counter/link.pl?3662 because my vet has personal experience of this referral centre. They also do direct claims from the insurance company which means that we don't need to start finding £1500+ if an MRI scan is required.

 

We need to go to our vets this afternoon to pick up x-rays etc to take with us tomorrow.

 

I'll let you know how Wallace gets on, once we get back from his appointment.

We've had our consulation and I was a bit like this :blink: The man is very nice and he certainly seems to know a lot about the more complex issues which can affect dogs. Wallace has stayed there to have some tests and depending on what shows (or what doesn't), he may also have an MRI scan next week but we'll find out more about that later today. I think, in real terms, the vet is looking for indications of either a progressive neurological type disease, or some form of cancer somewhere.

 

He will phone me once todays tests are completed so that we can go and pick Wallace up and, I assume, get the results from today.

The nice man (Adam) has just phoned and given me a brief rundown of what they've done and what they've discovered.

 

Firstly, they have not found anything really vile, so thats very good indeed :D

 

They have found that Wallace's blood pressure is a little high (180). Hs adrenal glands are slightly enlarged but there is no sign of any mass. Ultrasound shows that internal organs all look OK. There are mild changes in his pancreas but most likely to be age related normal changes.

 

Wallace was examined by the orthopedic specialist too but Adam got this person to examine Wallace without giving him any background info so that he could just give a clear view of what he found. It seems that Wallace has some 'repeatable' pain in his lower lumbar region and a slight tremor in his hind right leg. He also has 'repeatable' pain in his neck (query some sort of disc disease).

 

Adam said that none of these things account for weight loss so it could well be that the weight loss is as a result of stress from being in discomfort with his neck/back areas.

 

Wallace is not like most of my greyhounds (past and present) who scream at the slightest thing. He's an extremely stoic and brave dog who doesn't make a fuss even when you think he should be doing so, so this reason for the weight loss really rings true for me.

 

Anyway, we'll be having a more indepth chat with Adam when we go to collect Wallace at 5.30pm :)
