Hi...wondering if there is someone with greyhound medical experience who can perhaps give me your opinion as to what also may be going on with my greyhound and if you have any more suggestions.
He apparently developed a serious kidney condition that seemed to come out of nowhere?! He is 8, was retired early, very healthy and active?! Could be it's been developing slowly and he got into something toxic that has exasperated the condition.
His recent blood work:
GLU: 97 / BUN 180/ CA 10.4/CRE 12.1
ALB 3.4/ PHOS 13.3 / NA 151/K 4.6/
CL 130/ +CO2 12
HEM 0 LOP 3+ OCT 0
UA;
specific gravity 1.010
Glu 50mg
Ph 5.
PCV 32%
We have had him on IV drip 8 hrs for the last 4 days. He is drinking water fine and eating well. No vomiting, seizures nor diahrrea. Have him eating chicken thigh and tuna and is on an antibiotic and phosphate reduction powder.
After last 5 days he has stopped leaking urine, horrid Sylvia drool has significantly reduced and has a bit more energy than he did?! Any thoughts out there???
Thank you!!
Yvonne
