duncan41 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) It wasn't her back. I could babble, but I just need an answer to one question. How can a perfectly healthy 4-1/2 year old girl who had a clean urinalysis Wednesday afternoon be in acute renal failure at noon on Saturday? Even the e-vets are scratching their heads. No temp, ultra-sound is clear with slightly enlarged kidneys. She did KNOT get into any poisons. Bloodwork shows NO platlets and high WBC - massive infection. The next 3 to 9 hours will tell the story. Please, please, PLEASE pray for my girl. She needs your prayers. Edited to add: Thanks so much for the prayers. I spoke to the Vet about Lepto on Wednesday because Suze and Fuzz will be due for vaccine updates in May and he said that no one in our area has yet to diagnose a case of Lepto; he keeps in contact with all the Vets in the area. Suze was vaccinated for it in 2004 - when she and Fuzz adopted us. They have had titers each year since, but I don't remember if Lepto was included. She received only PBA on Wednesday due to a leaky bladder, no shots. She was on no other meds. I will ask the e-vet about TBD at 6 pm when I am to receive an update. She has been treated regularly with Frontline Plus. Update 9:00 pm: Spoke to the E-vet. Her blood values are going in the right direction and she is producing YELLOW urine instead of brown! I just love the color yellow! We're not out of the woods yet, but the improvement is certainly promising. Thank you all so much for your prayers! It's comforting to know that there's a support system like GT out there. Will talk to the E-vet at around midnight and we will go and see her first thing tomorrow morning. I'll update then.

silverfish Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Oh gosh. Sending many prayers for her safe recovery! It does sound as if she picked up something, doesn't it? Do you have Leptospirosis in your area? It's pretty much everywhere here so all dogs are vaccinated against it, but I understand that's not the case in the US.

The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues.
