Ruptured bladder Please say some prayers for Layla. We are on our way to emergency. She had blood in her pee and our local vet thinks she may have a ruptured bladder. I am sick over all these problems we've been having, we can't catch a break. I just need her to be healthy again. |
Oh my!! Sending prayers for Layla. I hope that the vet was wrong and just being cautious. |
I'm sorry. :( Thinking about you and Layla. Try to be positive. Maybe it's just stones or something. |
Oh no poor sweet Layla. Lot's of prayers going out for her. Please keep us posted. Please be careful driving. |
I will pray for her, but I am hoping it isn't a ruptured bladder, but maybe only something like a tiny blood vessel ruptured. Please keep us posted. Good luck to you and your baby. |
Im sorry, sending you prayers and hugs |
Sending big prayers up for little Layla and her family.... |
prayers from us!!! hope everything is ok! |
So sorry to hear this... Prayers for Layla. |
Oh, no! I'll keep sweet little Layla in my prayers. Hugs! |
So sorry. Praying it will be just some minor something. Please let us know asap. |
We just got home and I am so relieved! We got in to see a vet right away. They think it's just her bladder infection getting really bad. They also want to check for kidney function. So they took a urine sample for a culture and sensitivity, and a blood sample for kidney function. In the meantime, they gave us one week of antibiotics - the same ones Layla was just on for 10 days. By that time, the results of the other tests will be in and they will decide which sort of antibiotic to continue with. The vet would like another culture and sensitivity done next week when she is done these meds, and again after 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment. She feels the infection might be bad enough to have traveled to her kidneys and it's much more complicated to get rid of. Key phrase: GET RID OF. The local vet was happy to get it down to "just a little bit of bacteria left" and said Layla would need to just go on antibiotics every few weeks for the rest of her life. She did not even mention that this could be from her UTI... she said immediatly her bladder is probably ruptured. I know she prepared us for the worst case scenario but I was in tears, and we were both thinking if her bladder is ruptured and her urine is spilling into her body cavity... do we put her through more surgery and needing a catheter and all that comes with it... we were honestly trying to come to terms with the fact that we might have to put her down. I feel so upset that I was put to that level of emotion immediately, without saying it could just be the simple option! I am starting to feel more and more that maybe she just wanted to keep that infection going for more $$$$ :mad: I am just so relieved that we are on the right track now, and we have vets who are really trying to get to the bottom of these problems now. |
Thinking of you and Layla; hope all goes well and she has a speedy recovery. Susan |
Good to hear. :) This vet sounds very on top of it. When there are recurrent UTI issues or one that won't go away, it is important to culture and culture again..and again...and again :rolleyes: until you know it is gone. Infection going to the kidney - very possible. A lot of times pyelonephritis dogs act sick. Doesn't mean it's not possible though. She is young. It would make sense since the UTI was mismanaged by the previous vet. U/A and culture should come up bacteria free if taken cysto. Any remaining from an infection means there is still an infection that needs to be treated. Good thing this was caught now because kidney infections can be so serious. |
Great news! That's what I was hoping for.... |
