4My2Greys Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just got a call back from the vet. She says it's likely the ketoconazole causing his appetite change. The good news: We can take him off of it. The tests came back negative for blastomycosis. The bad news: The tests came back negative for blastomycosis. He has osteo. I was so afraid of this, I'm sorry that it wasn't blasto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeylasMom Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm so sorry it turned out to be osteo. There's a large group of us in the osteo thread if you need input or support.
