My concern is this vet pushing for the ultrasound etc on bats of 49.2 instead of first getting this dog to neurologist with those symptoms so not real sure she is real up on liver issues anyway so i would probably follow the neurologists recommendations over the vet at this point |
My vet wanted the ultrasound done to see if there was a single blood vessel or multiples to know if we can do surgery or not. She was thinking the liver issue may cause the neuro problems as well but I'm glad I went straight to see a neuro instead of internal med.
I've actually stopped giving Bella the lactulose and clavamox the night before we were leaving out of town. I didn't want her to have an accident in the car and she's really good about holding it but I would rather not make her hold it for it would have been torture. She's been the same with and without the med so it prob wasn't working anyways since I had her on it for a week. I'll actually double check with the vet though especially since I want to know if I should keep her on l/d or just any low protien diet.
The neuro also sent my vet a copy of what went on and she had called me this morning to check up on Bella as well. She also stated that the neuro wanted us to keep bella on pred for a week then call them so they can tapper it. We'll see how that goes once our meds are ready for pick up...we're still waiting for the pharmacy to hurry up.
