The ultrasound at Cornell today was somewhat abnormal but also a little inconclusive. It did show liver nodules but the tech at this point didn't think they were life threatening though something to definitely be mindful of. It also showed a slight thickening of a segment of the intestine... her high normal is 2.9 and this was 3.5. All other organs including the chest cavity were normal. Coupled with the normal testing done previously they too are at somewhat of a loss as to why the drop in weight. The tech could find no good reason for blood to be present in the urine. There was also no sign of kidney stones. She did note a gassiness and loose stool present in the intestine and I told her about how the meds had affected Boo. She said it could be a connection and perhaps some of what she saw was because of friendly bacteria being flushed away with the other bacteria.

The only probable cause of Boo's problem that she could offer would be Inflammatory Bowel Disease(IBD) or intestinal lymphoma. So I think for now it's back to my vet once she gets the report from Cornell and see what route she will want to take.
