Update:

Bree isn't 100% back to health as her skin and eyes are still yellow along with her urine. She is eating and drinking fine though. So I decided to take her to another vet and get a second opinion or if they could give me some meds that would help.

Her last weigh in before being sick was 9lbs. When I took her in the first time she was down to 8lbs. When I took her in yesterday she is 6.5lbs. At 9lbs she was extremely over weight because of us.

I took her in to see the new vet. She told me that she would like to do an ultra sound to see what's going on, maybe she has tumor(s) or something else wrong. I agreed as it's been long enough not knowing what's wrong. She gave her an injection of Vitamin B complex, Convenia and Fluid Therapy. Along with Denosyl to give everyday. Funny thing is I told her the other med says to give without food and I told her that's impossible. She laughed and said I'll show you a trick. She got a pill out opened her mouth and just put it down her throat. LOL, damn that was easy. I thought that would choke her with a pill in her throat like that.

So today we got the ultra sound and her gall bladder was GIGANTIC!!!!!! She said it so big that it's pushing the other organs around (shifting) and there are no tumors. She said this is unusual in dogs of her age. So she gave use Ursodiol to shrink the gall bladder and to get another ultra sound on CHRISTMAS EVE. This medication is supposedly fast acting if it's going to work. If not we may need to think about getting the gall bladder removed.

Medication she is taking

Cerenia
Ursodiol
Amoxi
Metronidazole
Denosyl

She's an active dog and seems normal other than her yellowish tint and goldish urine

Medical bill so far 2200.
