Now hes back to possibly thinking its Liver Shunt. I seriously HATE this vet. My boyfriend wants me to sue him, but Im not sure I could actually do that. Seems like a hassle. Im just focused on Macie right now.
I had an appt last week with a specialist, but since I wasnt referred they gave me the run around and I got pushed to the side.
Ive paid this vet $1250 and had Macie sick for a month and still no answers.
I know her blood work is bad right now, but she seems to be doing better. Thats why Im not rushing her to the ER this weekend.
I finally got approved for Care Credit yesterday, so now I dont have to stress so much over the cost of her treatment. |
I'd take those test results and go to a Vet ER right away, or at least a new vet with Saturday hours. Seriously, puppies can become sick, but they can't stay sick, they have to get treated to survive.... especially Yorkie pups who are good at hiding things when they don't feel 100%. The longer it takes to begin the correct treatment on her, the longer it will take for her to get better... and the more money spent, provided her body can make the journey....
Does her abdomen look bloated to you at all? The top portion on the labs has to do with her red blood cells.... very concerning to me... also the liver values are fine ( all normal), An increased BUN can be caused by dehydration (or made worse by it).
