Hallie-Glomerular Kidney Disease & Liver Tumor Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that Hallie is sick. She has been drinking a ton of water and having accidents so I took her to our regular vet (really thinking she just had a UTI) who did bloodwork and urine samples and found her kidney, pancreas and urine protein levels elevated so he sent us to an internal medicine specialist. They did an ultrasound, bloodwork and a needle bladder test. The ultrasound showed fluid build up in and around her kidneys and irreversible kidney damage. She also has a tumor on her liver. The glomerular kidney disease can be caused by infections, auto-immune disease and/or cancer so we are waiting for the blood tests to come back. If they come back with no signs they will do a kidney & liver biopsy. She also has very high blood pressure and will be on medication for that. She is now on prescription food and medicine to help calm her tummy (she wasn't eating and lost weight). Does anyone have experience with this? I'm trying to stay optimistic but it's hard. Hallie has always been so healthy that I really never expected anything like this. |
I don't know anything about this at all. I just want to say I'm sorry to hear little Hallie's sick. I am sending lots of prayers and best wishes for your baby. Please let us know when you find out more. |
Oh Geez..I am so sorry but I am sending positive thoughts your way and hoping that your little girl will be okay. Hugs |
:( Im sorry your little one is so sick, Prayers are on the way :love: |
Sending good thoughts and prayer\'s for Hallie. Sorry to read she\'s sick. I can\'t help you with this. I hope with the proper diet and meds she will be ok. Hugs, |
I\'m so sorry. :( Actually, I\'m shocked that this just came up so suddenly. :( There are some good reports about the use of Azodyl in kidney disease cases, but I\'m not sure it would be something that would work in this case. Maybe talk with her vet about it. |
I am sorry Hallie is sick. When my Pom had liver disease they were able to reverse it with medicines. And when Dixie had kidney failure, the specialist said that he had many yorkies in treatment for years with kidney failure that were doing fine, so hopefully HAllie can get better. |
Poor baby girl Hallie Ann! We\'ll be praying for you! Keep up your wonderful smile for your Momma and stay strong! You\'re very much LOVED! |
