He was at 50% oxygen in the tank..they moved him to %40 to see how he would do..so far he seems to be doing fine with it. He is still coughing but they want him to cough to help break up his lungs...
His blood work was off which is to be expected with a pup who came in so sick. His ALT was actually in the normal range... they were concerned about his ALB level and Cholestral level which can also indicate a liver issue... and him being so small is also a "sign"...
He is showing no HE symptoms so as I told the vets I am not overly concerned right now...as his blood would be off because of how sick he is..
I had my own vet look at all the blood work for a second opinion as I am not a vet even though I read blood work all the time I always go to my vet for any advice... especially when I am working with an ER.... she was not overly concerned with anything.. but wants to re-test him once he is better to see what we are dealing with then...
Please keep him in your prayers that the pnemominia clears up and he can reduce the amount of oxygen he needs to breath.. |
ALB and Chol are more protein losing if low so i would not be too concerned about liver either as if his liver was real bad his ALT would be off as my dd had normal alt but bats were elevated so only MVD - alb and chol are probably off as protein is low in body as he is so sick and probably not eating a whole lot unless they were high is that the case or low?
hope the little guy recovers real soon - do you think maybe he got kennel cough which lead to pneumonia thus triggering the tracheal cough sounds to me this might have been the case since he is so young maybe came to person with kennel cough and they gave him up as vet bills were high once led to pneumonia - sounds like that is the real story
and 6 mos is when they get the vaccines so maybe he even got kennel cough from vaccine
