Intestinal Biopsy Anyone's doggie have this done (full thickness abdominal...not endoscopy)? Did it go okay? |
Wookie:aimeeyork had biopsies taken of his stomach and intestine when he had to have emergency exploratory surgery. They all came back fine and he had no problems at all with the surgery or the biopsies. And they found nothing in his intestines either like they thought they would! |
Violet had this done last Thursday. I am anxiously awaiting results! |
Well, that's good to hear. :) |
Sorry no experience here- just wanted to with Ellie good luck- poor girl- she's been through the ringer! Hope it goes well :D |

The vet wants it done before she wiil give prednisolone which may be the only thing that will work. We are trying Tylan right now. Biopsy of the small intestine looks kind of dangerous though...1 in 12 die if I am reading things right.:confused: Right now she has a UTI that has to clear up though. So we have an answer for the excessive thirst thankfully. |

I am sorry to read about Ellie not feeling so good. I put a little cran relief in Jazzies water to keep uti's away, it is made by Naturvet. I would look into diabetes 1st, much simpler test I hope, could it be diet related? Perhaps something she has been eating for a while no longer agrees with her? I wish little Ellie the best in the search for answers. ;) |

I hope that link works. I am hoping it isn't stones. I am also wondering if the polydipsia is related to her gastrointesinal issues but they started at different times. If the antibiotics don't clear up the drinking problem, we will go farther with diagnostics (probably just blood work and if there is any question about the urine...diagnostic imaging). I had no idea Ellie was peeing more though. I am thinking she has been going on the carpet more than what I've caught and her puddles may be bigger... |
