Bile Acid Test
Pre 245
Post 332
Oddly, Chewy has never had diarrhea, is always hungry and drinks a normal amount of water.
Only symptoms that started appearing over past year and gradually increased are as follows:
(1) Constant drooling when outside
(2) ALWAYS sleeping
(3) Almost comatose/sleepy after he would eat dinner - like totally out of it (I was feeding very high protein diet)
(4) Orange urine
(5) Upset stomach...seems to fake throw-up, like heave once a month -- often in middle of night, like acid reflux (that's what I thought it was)
(6) Lately, used to love other dogs and now seems to be fearful and agressive
Otherwise, no fever, no outright vomiting, no diarrhea, no excessive drinking, no seizures, no other signs...
All along, until the bile acid, my husband was convinced I was over-reacting and said "He's always just been a lazy sleepy puppy"
If only I knew...I just hope the time it took for me to find out doesn't worsen the outlook....I can't imagine life without this little man...he's only been with us 2 years and I planning on him being with us 12+++ I never expected something like this, and I feel helpless...
Thank god almighty for ASPCA health insurance.... |
