Reason: Get Bloods For TSH And B12History: O reports no changes/new concerns since last visit. Medication: gabapentin 100mg/trazodone 50mg PO last night/this morning (7.15am). Objective: Quiet, alert and responsive. Weight gain of 30 grams. Very anxious - only just able to collect blood sample today - trying to bite through the muzzle. Laboratory: 1ml serum to vetnostics for TSH & B12 Plan: Await bloods - ABK/KR to follow up mid next week. Would recommend gabapentin 200mg/trazodone 100mg prior to future venepuncture.

GI signs are intermittentHard to know if any of the abnormalities are related to the blood changes or unrelated incidental findings. Consider adding B12 and TSH for now. Then consider abdo ultrasound and then poss ACTH stim to look into hyperA. Regardless of whether or not related - warranted to look into as need to decide on best treatment going forwards - nsaids vs paracetamol. O OK to add on extra tests. Will call tyomorrow to pay and put through insurance details. Warned may need more blood. --- 28/01/2026 13:06:08 KJR:LM for Marina to organise getting more bloods. Suggest 50mg traz/100mg gabapentin (1/2 chill pill) beforehand to allow to get bloods easier. --- 29/01/2026 10:07:22 KJR: ST Marina. Tremor still continuing. A few days of urination inside despite taking him outside. Big wees in the house no blood noted. No changes in the environment. Happy t o get booked in for tomorrow. Chill pill dispensed to collect later today. Bloods for TSH and B12 please O aware of $187 cost for each test. Shouldn't need additional health check unless O has more concerns tomorrow.
