My princess was the most energetic and welcoming dog I knew, everyone loved her for her bullying persona. This was definitely unforeseen and it hurt us all alot. If only first time pet owners came with a manual.
Nevertheless, I wont dwell on what could have been or where we went wrong. She was loved and spoiled and thats whats important. Moving forward, Im taking all the necessary precautions with her brother, Max. As per his new vet, his bloodwork came back good. Im still trying to understand bloodwork results myself although his BUN level is at 40, his creatine and phosphorus are normal.
Yesterday, he had a dental scaling and had 3 more teeth pulled. Ive been thinking about switching him to more of a wet food now that he has less teeth but its been a little difficult to find one. He's always been a picky eater. I recently introduced salmon oil to his meal. He's 9yrs old so not sure if I should also look into supplements or anything of that extent. Any suggestions around food and supplements would be appreciated.
Thank you xoxo |
I am wondering if you precious yorkie was exposed to lawn chemicals before she was diagnosed. I am going through the same thing right now, but I know for sure that it was caused by TruGreen spraying our community. Unfortunately the HOA never sent out a note letting us know that this was going to happen. Within two days 6 dogs had bad diarrhea. My Yorkie was one of the smaller dogs and we could not get the diarrhea under control. She also stopped eating, was lethargic and refused to walk. Blood work showed a BUN at 120 - normal for these dogs is under 30. In Florida I had her have dialysis three times, racked up a bill of over $3000, sent emails and called the management company - no one cares. Got home and my vet now has me giving her infusions every other day. It is a toss up who cries more. I am so sorry you had to go through this, and I feel worse that you lost your baby. I also have a Biewer Terrier. he weighs 6 pounds, that extra pound saved him. My little girl is down to 4-pounds and we are now feeding her K/D diet. All I can say is this really stinks!
