I'm miserable. we have to take her back tomorrow for more fluids and another blood test on saturday, but if her "___ levels" havent significantly improved..... please keep her in your prayers. I am so not ready to loose her. |
I'm so sorry your little one is so ill. I just lost my Jack to this terrible disease.
The vet should do some additional testing to rule out other causes if the BUN and creatinine numbers are up. For instance they should check to see if it could be lyme disease or lepto. If it is kidney disease you can/may be able to do some things to prolong your little ones life. These sources where very helpful when I needed some extra help in understanding as to how to care for my little one....
