I am not thrilled to write this update because its not good. So Callie went for a recheck and hopefully the scope. They went to run her blood test for her kidney panel and electrolytes to make sure the blood pressure medicine was not messing with them. Well the tech accidents did and liver panel too. Her liver numbers that had just been taken a week and 3 days prior and were only slightly elevated were so high the machine could not read them. The ultrasound of her abdomen the week before showed nothing visually wrong with her liver. The vet suspects its possible that she has a liver infection and apparently that is very serious and normally not caught until the dog starts showing signs of yellowing and then requires hospitalization. Callie has been put on two antibiotics for 6 weeks, a prescription liver support medication, a nausea medication with an appetite stimulant, and Vitamin E. They also said not to give her pain medication. She is not eating much and she is hiding under the table and under the bed as well as sleeping in the dog toy box. Her eyes are so tired. She goes back for a recheck next Monday. If she is showing not signs of improvement I'm going to have to as some of the very sad serious questions. I refuse to let her suffer. She has fought so many health issues in her life I think she is getting tired. My heart is just breaking.
