Odie is still at the emergency vet. Poor Odie. After a slew of tests, they called Denise and said that they thought Odie had Addison's disease. He had elevated potassium levels.
Just recently I was reading the Two Naughty Shibas blog which led me to Shiba Inu Spirit's post about Pacific Rimism. From what I understand, shibas naturally may have higher levels of potassium (K), and elevated potassium should not be assumed to be Addison's disease. I called Denise and had her call the emergency vet to suggest they do a little research on Pacific Rimism before they treat him for Addison's.
Thanks Lindsay and Jen for opening up my eyes to this!
