Erik: good news
My vet (after consulting a specialist) wanted Erik to have another ultrasound, looking for an explanation for some of the anomolous readings in recent blood tests. To the best of my knowledge ultrasounds never produce good explanations for things like that.
He had it today, and my vet was actually there when I picked him up so she showed me the results and talked me through them. There's nothing bad going on in there (though they didn't look at his heart, so that's still a possible worry). The specialist thinks the liver numbers are completely explained by hyperthyroidism and we need to treat that. My vet noted that high white-cell counts are not explained that way, so she's going to talk with the specialist about that. But hey, no tumors -- a common explanation! Yay!
She wants to treat the hyperthyroidism with drugs for a while before doing the radiation treatment (just to make sure there are no complications), but she thinks we'll be able to do that some months down the road.
