Guest trevdog Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Poor guy.......I'm sure your vet can call in a referral if needed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysandmollie Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well the vet called and is working on my referal right now. Aimee...We have not done xrays or ultrasound. His lungs sounded good and the enlarged prostate is the problem that I want to look at. My vet doesn't have ultrasound equipment so that is why I need the referral. There are a few places in Cincinnati that have the equipment. But to get in today I need a referral. And the one place I have been in the past has two vets, one is the oncologist that treated Rascal, and she is on vacation this week. Bad timing. I don't know if there is anyway to get in to see the other one. I will wait and be patient for a little while longer and if I have to I will sit at the ER vet until they see us.

Greytlady94 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Just a thought, have they tested for Leptospriosis? There was a greyhound from our group that almost died about two months ago, vet had tried everything. Finally sent off to A & M vet school and the diagnosis was Leptospriosis. Once proper treatment was started he began improving within a couple of days and a month after diagnosis was back to normal. Symptoms of disease. During the first 4-12 days following infection with Leptospira, the dog may experience sudden symptoms of fever (103-105oF), depression, vomiting, loss of appetite, conjunctivitis, and generalized pain. Within 2 days of the onset of these primary symptoms, body temperature may drop suddenly and there may be a noticeable increase in thirst. A definite change in the color of the dog's urine and/or jaundice (icterus) is often noticed and may be the only indication of disease. Color intensity of the urine may vary from lemon to deep orange. Additionally, frequent urination and subsequent dehydration (uremia) are consistent with invasion of the kidney tubule cells by the Leptospira organism and usually present within a few days of the primary symptoms. In advanced cases of infection, profound depression, difficulty breathing, muscular tremors, bloody vomitus and feces are often observed as the infection progresses to include the liver, gastrointestinal system and other organs. Course and severity of the disease is often dependent upon the serovar responsible for the infection. Serovars associated with liver infection and symptoms of urine discoloration and/or jaundice (icterus), elevation of liver enzymes, and gastrointestinal symptoms include L. icterohaemorrhagiae and grippotyphosa. The serovar grippotyphosa is also associated with symptoms of renal failure as is the serovar pomona. http://www.labbies.com/lepto.htm also http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Oct97/lepto.hrs.html Sending prayers and gentle ear scritches for Bounty.

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Donna, The carafate will not only lay down a sort of mesh gel to coat and protect the stomach's lining, but it will also help heal whatever is bleeding. We used it with Vinnie and his gut bleed. We didn't know why he was bleeding either. He was not on NSAIDS or anything that causes bleeds. The carafate did a wonderful job within days, and he never bled again. Later when he was on lots of pain meds for his back, pepcid was what we used. I'm sorry Bounty is having such a difficult time. I know you're worried. Nothing worse than not knowing what is wrong and not being able to get to the right people to help him ... We're the moms; we're supposed to be able to fix anything Sending hugs, Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake.

greysandmollie Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well we went to the ER here which is also a specialist care facility. The doctor felt is was best to leave him so they can hook up an IV and pump antibiotics in and fluids. He has gotten dehydrated. They are going to do a chest xray tonight and then tomorrow get him in for an ultrasound. So I know nothing else at this point. All she said was the his lungs sound clear but she felt his breathing was more labored than it should be. I was a mess leaving him there but felt it was the right thing to do. If he was not admitted through ER they couldn't guarantee when he could get in for an ultrasound. The house seems to have an empty hole.
