Guest greytfulhounds Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Sending prayers. Make SURE they culture the urine. I agree with the suggestion to culture the urine. We went through months of issues with our Joanie......finally was so frustrated I changed vets & the first thing the new vet did was a urine culture and there was our problem....Joanie had a major UTI that required 2 different antibiotics.........my old vet, who I trusted, never did a culture.

2hounds Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 **Update 6.3.07** We visited her today at the specialist, they are going to keep her another night. They are doing a joint tap (meaning they are going to get some of the fluid out of her joints and culture it to see if there is anything bacterial going on) and they also did an ultrasound. More bloodwork, more drugs, more everything. Her feet are so swollen, they almost look like a bear foot or a labrador foot or something, they are so big, and her joints are still all swollen. My poor little girl has so many shaved spots on her, she looks like a beauty school dropout, but she wagged her tail for me and her eyes were bright and happy to see me. We went outside for a potty break (they were just getting ready to take her to potty when we got there so they said I could take her). I cried when I had to leave her with the vet for another night and I am still waiting to hear back about the results from her ultrasound.

2hounds Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 **Late 6.3.07 Update** I just talked to the vet, her fever has spiked back up and she feels like we really need to start steroids right away. We were trying to wait another day to get the Metacam out of her system before starting it, but she is going to give her something to coat her GI tract that will help prevent a reaction from the steroids/Metacam. The steroids will help control the fever and also reduce the swelling in her joints. The ultrasound all looked good. Her spleen is slightly enlarged but that is to be expected with Erlichea, her kidneys were slightly dilated (?) but they think that is because of the amount of fluids they are pumping in her. Her joint tap looked ok, there were some lymphacites (sp?) and a few other cells in the fluid. They are going to send it off for tests along with more blood that was drawn before the new antibiotics started. If she feels miraculously better, she might get to come home tomorrow night, otherwise they want to keep her for another night. I asked if I could bring a big cushy bed for her to sleep on and they told me no. I understand why, and I understand that her kennel isn't really large enough for a big cushy bed, but I feel so helpless and that is the only comfort I feel like I can offer my little princess so I was hoping to be able to do something for her. Please send all the white light and healing thoughts you can spare for my little Mia girl.

SPDoggie Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Oh my gosh... I am just reading of Mia's continued problems... the poor girl. I am sorry they would not let you leave a bed for her. When the surgeon told me I could not leave a blanket with Kingsley I cried so they told me I could!! (never underestimate the power of tears!) I SO hope that she can heal quickly and thoroughly... the dear thing. And big hug to you and the rest of your hounds.
