During surgery when the patient is under anesthesia we like to see BPs from 80-120. |
the vet wanted to keep her half a day there. she said the lowest reading she could get was 230. last week her highest was 265. that was when we started the amlodipine. but since our emergency vet visit a week ago tonight she has not been on it. she is on benezaperil which is for blood pressure and protein loss. i do not know if the Amlodipine made her bp drop too low and she fainted from that or not. but we discontinued it and the vet wants to further research an alternative med. in the mean time she is only on the benezaperil and her tyroid med. I only give her a claritin for her allergies if she is scratching really bad. I cannot wait for an internal medicine spec to evaluate her to see what is wrong. I do not know why she is losing high amounts of protein her her urine? and why her bp is so high. these are symptoms in Glomerulonephritis. (which the vet "thinks" she has) Her bun level is also high. last weeks labs showed it was 48. her urine protein/creat ratio was 6.7. these are some very high numbers. her stomach has been making a lot of noise so I have been giving her 1/4 tablet of a pepcid ac. seems to help her. the only thing that keeps me hopeful is that she has been normal all week. very playful, she plays with her toys. her stool has been normal. so hard to know something is going on with her. she triggers no signs to take her in to the vet??? but i know that these values in her labs do not lie.
