Update on Jewel
Tuesday my Mummy took my foster sister Jewel to see an Internal Medicine Vet for a consultation. Jewel has elevated liver enzymes. Our Vet lady thought Jewel might have Cushings Disease and did the test for the typical type of Cushing Disease. It came back negative. The Internal Medicine Vet did an ultrasound on Jewel and it showed abnormal changes in the right lobe of her liver. He felt like it could be caused by Atypical Cushing which involves more involved detailed lab testing than what the usual Cushings test covers. Our Mummy is making arrangements for Jewel to have the advanced testing. Because of all her medical issues she is not ready to be adopted so St. Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue has changed her status to permanent foster. My Mummy Louise and I are going to keep her and care for her so it looks like I have a new sister!!!! St.LSTR continues to pay for her medical expenses. My Mummy & I are asking all our TC terriers and parents to keep their paws crossed for Jewel as we try to help her. Prayers also appreciated. Jewel here, I am feeling just fine and am so happy to have my forever home!!!! I love my Mummy & my brother Bo Bo Bryce!!! Love Bo Bryce, Jewel, and our Mummy Louise

Re: Update on Jewel
I haven’t been on here in years - Katy was my Westie girl - she passed away at 14 three years ago. She grew up here on the TC. Now we have Kolby - our 9 year old rescue.
I am curious which liver values are high - Katy had a high Alk Phos, but other liver numbers were normal. She also had nodules on her liver - but her gallbladder was the source of her issues. When our vet put her on Ursodiol (human med), it really helped her. Thought I would share our experience in hopes it could maybe help you. Take Care :)

Re: Update on Jewel
Jennifer so happy to hear from you!!!! I remember your Angel Katy very well. Glad to hear you have adopted a rescue Kolby. Thank you for your information. I know all about Ursodiol. It is a great medication. I had 3 Scotties & 1 Westie on it. The issue with Jewel is that her ultrasound looked normal including her gallbladder except the right lobe of her liver. Her ALK. Phos. is the only enzyme which is elevated. Her symptoms and changes in her liver is consistent with changes seen in Cushing Disease along with the elevated ALK. Phos. There are other types of Cushing. The typical Adrenal suppress Test done by your Vet is for the Typical form of Cushing. Hers was normal. We are going to test for Atypical Cushing which is a much more complex test. Dogs with Atypical Cushing have normal Adrenal suppress tests so we need to do the more advanced test to rule out the Atypical Cushing next. If that is normal then she may have to have a liver biopsy because the abnormal changes in her liver can be from something else including a tumor not yet visible on ultrasound.
