Will require IDEXX TAHP and an inhouse UA.Discussed CSx of cushings - pu/pd, ravenous appetite, pendulous abdomen. O said that Holly has always been a big drinker, at this stage, is able to hold her bladder overnight. Loves her food, but O only feeds 1 meal at night, and is quite strict with her. Walked 5km a day, however, still unable to lose any weight.Gave verbal consent to run further tests.Once the results come back, and there is high suspicion for HyperA, next steps would be abdominal u/s with LDDST.Inhouse Urinalysis:Sample collected at am/pm via: urine sample pending as unable to collect any in clinic. sent home with urine collection container with instructions, and O to drop in fresh urine sample tomorrow morning.
