Ellie's blood work is not good. - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

143julz · 10-23-2008, 08:17 AM

My baby had 4 abcessed teeth removed and gums were cut and stitched....She did great at 14.5 yr old, one kidney at 25% functioning(rental failure) with pancreatitis, hypothryroid at the time...It was a life or death decision we had to make for her to overcome getting better....I felt at fault with going 5 yr w/o a cleaning, becasue we were lead to believe that with one kidney she could never go under

WE WERE WRONG!!!
Your baby will be fine!!!!

i am not doing vaccine either -- just so nervous. Did she cut gums and sew them - the flap procedure -- that is where i got woozy and nervous

thanks so nervous

her bun level and bun/creatinine ratio and globulin were slightly elevated but they think bun and bun/cr were high is due to non fasted blood work and high protein meal before draw and globulins because gum bacteria issues -- i know mine is 4 and never had done dentals

now i feel horrible

How old is Ellie May? Poor baby has been through so much... I hope her medical issues can continue to be improved, and the dental problems are not connected are they?
I really like her name, it is cute and very girly . I hope the best for your dear sweet one, and that she is feeling better.

Lol, it is a very girly name.

She is 7.
Liver issues can lead to bad teeth but they have never been great, so I think it is more of a Yorkie thing. Thankfully with routine care her teeth are fine.

Yorkie_25 · 10-23-2008, 09:07 AM

I pray she gets better soon....

Ellie May · 10-24-2008, 01:14 PM

She is NORMAL!!!
Everything is 100% fine!!!!!

The platelets went back up to over 200,000 and the Spec cPL is 30.
No diet change needed.
Finish the Flagyl and get titer results next week.

Did I mention that everything is NORMAL?

Wonderful news.

Does normal means she's perfectly healthy, or just the test results are normal?

I was sure that she had some major pancreas issues going on...and this is one time that I am happy to be wrong.

I think we are okay if we avoid beef and anything else like it.
