Another Goliath Update

The vet just called back, and we know what is making him drink excessively, and thus pee in the house excessively. He has a high blood calcium level. It should be less than 12, but his was between 14.5 and 15.2.

There are a number of things that can cause an increased calcium level, but the two that they have not been able to eliminate are cancer, and a thyroid problem.

Sheri is going to drop him off tomorrow morning for half a day so they can run a series of tests on him. It sounds like the first thing they will do is take a couple of x-rays to look for cancer. If that comes back negative then they will do some blood work for his thyroid.

That’s what I know so far. I will keep you posted.
