 Chloe has kidney failure
Hi all! I took my 6yr old female to be spayed last Monday. I was pretty sure she had pyometria. She was vomiting on the Friday prior and in heat. They scheduled her right away. The day before the surgery she was back to her old self. I took her in and they wanted to do some tests and completed the spay. I picked her up and she was completely lethargic. I of course followed her post-op instructions. Two days later the vet called me regarding her labs and told me she was in renal failure. Her labs were all over the charts. He ssid her kidneys were functiining at > 30%. I wasn't impressed with his lack of sympathy and picked up her lab results and took her to an animal hospital. The animal hospitals staff were awesome! But her prognosis was not good. They said that she may have been muddling along and the anesthesia exacerbated the kidney failure. I called the clinic where she was spayed and inquired on whether her blood was drawn before or after surgery. It was drawn after.
The hospital allowed me to do her care at home. She's on IV fluids, pepcid and a renal diet. This was Wednesday. I haven't left her side. She seems to be doing better. She's eating, drinking, still not herself but much better. They say not to get my hopes up. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm praying for a miracle! |
