One day she does not want kibble...next day she does. I have NEVER had a pup like her. She was not like this until recently. |

I am so worried about Olivia. I took her to the vet on Thursday for her yearly exam and to get ready for her dental this coming week. It was time to re evaluate her PLN so we took her B/P and did a UPC on her. Her B/P was 190 and my vet called the specialist .. his advice was to repeat her B/P this coming week when she had her dental. He did not feel her meds needed adjustment just yet. The lab for some weird reason did not get her UPC done yesterday and since my vet was going to be closed I had them ask the lab to fax her UPC results to me when they were complete. The result is 3.3 which is very high. :( I just called and spoke with the tech for the specialist. She is going to speak with him and get back to me about whether she needs to come in or not...or if there is something I can do at home which I highly doubt since I cannot monitor her B/P. I am just sick over this. :( |
Olivia I am so sorry that Olivia's tests are not looking so good right now and understand how concerned you are about her. Praying for little Olivia and hoping she does not have anything that requires more hospital visits. Why do these things seem to happen on holidays when getting service and results is usually harder?? |
Linda, I am very sorry to hear this. Praying for Olivia. |
I am just beyond stressed right now. :( This really is not a good sign. |
Oh Linda I am so sorry. I will be praying for sweet Olivia |
He had a couple of emergencies .. I suppose he is going to call me. If he needed to see her, I think the tech would have called back by now. I just feel sick to my stomach though because this is a killer condition. :( They had told me that most only live about a year after diagnosis. :( :( Trying to think positive..but it is not working well for me. |
Oh no Linda, I am so sorry to read that Olivia is having problems. Prayers will certainly be going out for her. I hope the Vet get's back with you soon. |
Well, his suggestion is to increase the Enalapril and follow up this week for a B/P check...the tech had called me. So...I asked her when to do another UPC and also IF it is ok to do a dental (not that I intend to with her kidneys not filtering correctly right now). She did not eat this morning and I did not put much into that since she can be finicky... now I am worried about that. Will see how she does this afternoon. If she does not eat I am going to run her over to the EC and get her B/P checked. |

Oh no, I hope you get a good diagnosis. Poor Olivia. Sending ((good vibes)) your way. |
Thanks, everyone! Well, the scoop is that he is not overly concerned so I suppose I just need to relax. Olivia just ate all of her food and let Pippi hear it when she got too close to her bowl. :D He said to go ahead this week with her dental and to get her B/P reading a few times over an extended period of time (he said preferably over an hour) .. my vet can do that when she is there for the dental on Thursday .. actually that had already been discussed. The UPC is to be repeated in one month. I did not speak with him....but I am thinking that maybe the fact that her blood work is all ok is a good sign; and I am hopeful that she is still in early stage disease. This is not a condition that will go away...I just so hope she can live a longer life. All of the information I see...and even the specialist told me that the average life expectancy is one year. :( |
