Was at the specialists for 2.5 hrs. They did X-rays, ultrasounds, additional lab work, and BP check. She had yorkies herself
. Zoey was hypertensive I think 220/116
which may explain some of her lack of appetite the vet said. The X-ray and ultrasound were negative for other problems other than the kidneys. Her kidneys are enlarged. With CFR she said there should be scaring and shrinkage of the kidneys generally. Zoey has no visible scaring of her kidneys but her kidneys are very inflamed which very well maybe due to poisoning she said. She said she is more concerned over the low albumin than the BUN/Creatine, Phos or H/H levels. She said for me to keep doing what I am doing because it is working for Zoey otherwise. Depending how the additional labs come back she may what to add a medication to prevent protein loss though the kidneys. She said to come back in 5-7 days for BP recheck. If it is still high an antihypertensive med may be added. Hopefully it was so high because Zoey was put thought the ringer today and was very upset. She said they are going to try and come up with a homemade renal diet for Zoey that will be balanced and loaded with foods she likes especially since Zoey hates rice which most call for.
Will keep you all updated. The fight continues.
