His bulirubin is 6.7.

I'm really scared. They started some treatment for it. Doc has no idea why. He said the liver looked fine when he was in there.

 

They also started amoxi and baytril. I asked the first day why he wasn't on ABT's. His WBC was way too high. Doc said it was high because of the mass and wasn't concerned. I should have pushed the ABT's.

 

He did try to crawl into my lap when I was there but otherwise he just lays there. He barely responds to me.

 

edited to add:

 

I asked for them to run a SNAP 4DX test the next time the draw blood. Doesn't hurt to rule out TBD's.

 

They think the lidocane was causing the puking so they stopped that this morning. Heart rate is normal now. Doc said that he's ok sending him home with ireg heart beat as long as the rate is normal. That was before the liver issue came up.

 

He was puking Thur and Fri which I keep telling them. Not sure if it's related or not.

I'm on the verge of losing it. If I start crying, I won't stop.

 

Good news, I brought Hammie (my foster since June and bounced twice) to a new home. The family has brother and have wanted him for a while. If he fits in, the will adopt him.

Hope that liver stuff normalizes so he can come home - I'm sure he'll be much happier at home with you!

I do already have a consult open at OSU on the mass so I could send them the bloodwork tomorrow. I asked for a copy today. Thanks for reminding me.

I am sorry you and Lucky are going through so much. About a year ago we were struggling to help heal one of our hounds. He had had surgery but continued to have multiple symptoms after a successful surgery. If took multiple trials with medications and more testing to reveal three weeks later that he had two very different medical issues. I am not sure that this is at all the case in your situation but our vets and I were sure the symptoms were coming from post surgery issues. I wish we had known about the secondary issue sooner so we could have treated with the appropriate meds sooner.

Continued prayers for Lucky.

Try not to worry too much about the bilirubin--the liver is cleaning up all of the old red cells from Luckys prior bleed. Once Luckys home you might want to consider starting Denamarin to help support the liver.

Hopefully, they will get the vomiting control so they can send him home.

Greyt news on your foster!

I ask a ton of questions and I realized that they think I'm questioning their care. I'm not, I'm just trying to understand what is going on. I have a super over active brain so I think the worst but if they explain to me what is going on, I am calmer. Well calm is not the right word but I'm not freaking that much :lol

 

I just called and he's sleeping. He's on a bunch of drugs now.

ABT - amoxi/baytril

Something for the GI track

Antacid

Liver protectant

 

They will recheck bilirubin in the morning.

Kari, I just saw this. Keep asking questions.

 

You're both in my thoughts. I hope Lucky is home soon :grouphug

I hope he's feeling better tomorrow. Don't worry about asking too many questions; it's what they should expect from any loving pet parent and it's their job to help answer them. Sending prayers Lucky's way.

Kari, been offline from GT for the last week and am just seeing this now. We are all thinking good thoughts for your sweet Lucky and that he is better this morning and can come home.
