greytluck Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Such good updates, Jaynie sure showed what she was me of To my surprise, there was a note posted on the wall also, that she was a lepto possible, and to wear gloves. I must ask Dr. Norris about this because the impression I got initially was that while she was a slight positive for 3 lepto strains on the titer test, he didn't think it meant much since she had been so recently vaccinated, and the test couldn't distinguish between antibodies due to the vaccine vs. an actual infection. It's a common precaution because lepto is contagious to both dogs and humans. I guess they are just taking the "it's better to be safe then sorry" approach. My vet did the same precautions with Hobbes even though his first lepto titer came back negative. Quote Hobbes-Ricard Hatch09/23/99-12/21/09 Always loved, never forgotten.

Rickiesmom Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Haven't heard from Dr. Norris yet today. The attending at the clinic called in the morning but didn't have any blood results yet. She did say that at midnight some stringy blood and mucus had been observed in Jaynie's urine. It's on her chart again for 3 and 6am, and I saw some today when we walked her at 3pm. As this coincides with the lowering of her fluids, I hope it doesn't mean anything really bad. As far as I can tell she's on 1.5x fluids right now. I'm not sure how fast they will continue to bring them down, but am starting to wonder if Monday will be the day after all. Jaynie's urine was cultured when she came in and was clear, but presumably it's time to do that again. We had a nice visit. Jaynie was asleep when I arrived, but became lively very fast when she realized I had nice buttery scrambled eggs in a ziploc. Gave her a little bit (which she made clear was not being dished out quickly enough) the rest are in the fridge for later. She slept a lot for the rest of the visit, some good roaches, a bit of grooming, and kisses. She likes her walks - poop not so great today, formed but very soft. I was told to expect a call from Dr. Norris this afternoon, and I hope he does call as I am anxious to know how she's doing overall, and what he thinks about the blood. Will post again when I hear from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hounds Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Oh gosh! If she is on a lot of antibiotics, it can cause mushy poop and potentially can cause a UTI which could explain the bloody urine. Fingers crossed she can still come home tomorrow!

Guest Energy11 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Glad to hear she is perky when she sees you and wants to eat. My theory is still, when she gets home (when the vet thinks it is okay) she will recover faster. If she needs fluids when she is home, it is pretty easy to do. If they leave the IV catheter in, or, if you give them sub q (under the skin). A lot of people with kidney dogs or cats, do their own fluids. Hoping they come up with an answer to the blood in the urine. Love and hugs to you and to Jaynie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickiesmom Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Dr. Norris called while we were out walking the dogs. He only left voicemail regarding bloodwork - nothing about the blood in Jaynie's urine. Things are holding pretty steady except her creatinine is up to 247 - not good. I hope to learn more when I speak with him tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
