Guest greydogluvr Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Update: Clemmie's blood work came back. Her potassium levels were very low and her heart rate was slow. The vet ordered an ultrasound which indicated that her adrenal glands were small in size. This he believes indicates Addison's Disease (I have not looked up the spelling). She is in what is called a Addison's crash where her intestines are shutting down and her heart rate is slowing. There is another test she must have to confirm the diagnosis but he is treating her according to this diagnosis because he can not wait for the results to come back or she will be too bad to treat. As of right now she is on IV fluids and receiving treatment. I am going to visit her at 8:00. The prognosis is good. She will be on daily low doses of Prednisone (the hormone her body is not producing) as well as injections every 25 days (do not know the name). I am hoping she will be home by tomorrow. This progression has been so quick. I miss my liitle ladybug. Please keep her in your prayers. Lora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gottaluvgreysindy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Glad you got some answers. Hoping she is on the up swing. Update us when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4gryhnds Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 If she is continuing to show signs of anal gland discomfort, the vet may suggest removing the gland. I have had 2 dogs, Rocky my greyhound, and Whiskers my beagle mix who had their glands removed. Both recovered quickly. They never had anymore problems with it. Good luck with everything!
