Update- Worms???
 

Well I just got the phone call from the vet over Bear's test results. I'm not sure what to think, he said that he wants to me with me tomorrow afternoon to discuss them.

He said for the most part the results were normal but with a couple to be concerned about. He thinks that there is something wrong with Bear's kidneys and wants to rerun the test. :cry: I'm not sure what that means or if Bear will be ok.

Oh I'm so sorry! I would call back and ask for him to call you today to discuss I wouldn't be able to wait until tomorrow. he shoukd have called you tomorrow if he couldn't see you today!

Thanks Patti, it is very hard waiting till tomorrow to find out more. I spent the morning crying, praying that he will be alright and that his kidney's are not failing. He is too special and does not deserve to be sick.

My Prayers to out to you and Bear that everything is OK. I would call the vet back and tell him that you can not wait until tomorrow and please discuss them NOW.

Prayers coming your way NOW.....I hope it was a glitch in the test or something very minor.....Oh man...it's going to be a long wait for you to get your answers....BIG HUGS and think positive ok ?

I am so sorry, I pray that every thing come out ok...

Thank you to those who care about my Bear, it means so much. :) Your prayers are whats keeping me going, and Bear's kisses of course.

He seems like such a little fighter, it does not seem possible that he has kidney problems. He is just his usual happy self and thats got to mean something.

Thank you! :)

I also wonder why some bad news threads get 30 plus replies and some get almost none, what gives???? People, think about if it was you crying out for support. :confused:

I just got on and read this and I am sending you all the positive vibes I can muster. We will all keep our fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed that there was a screw up in the tests. This sucks and I hate when these little ones have problems or potential problems..I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

GOOD LUCK TODAY !!!!!!!!!! You sure have MY support and I really hope the doctor just wants to sit you down and go over everything face to face and it's nothing serious....Maybe he does this when tests mess up ?

I'm nervous for you sweetie....PLEASE COME here and update us asap ok ? HUGS TO YOU AND BEAR !!!

i hope it all works out! i work at a dr's office and i know when he does that it usually means something MINOR-or just that he wants a second test- so i hope thats your case and all works out with Bear- i couldnt imagine whats going through your mind- but dont fret just yet...keep us updated!!


ps: i didnt ignore this either- i havent been on- but I CARE TOO!!! PRAYERS FOR YOU & BEAR!!!

We are all hoping Bear is okay!! Can't wait to hear a response from your vet!!

:getwellso Bear!!

I hope everything goes well!!! You and your baby are in my prayers!! :)

How did it go today? What kind of dog food do you feed your kid? Is it high in protein? Like above 30-35%? Just curious as that can sometimes skew test results..

Thank you for asking how it went today. :)
Bear is eating Innova, the crude protein is 26%.

Thank you everyone for your prayers I think they are working. :) :) :)

He does have some abnormal test results such as his red blood cell count, BUN, creatinine and some others but they are just slightly out of normal range, He also is showing some crystals in his urine.

At this point the vet is wondering why the levels are off and feels we need to re-test in a months time to see where they sit then, he is worried about a kidney problem (more from his experience in seeing several yorkies in our region that have kidney problems, not really Bear's results) but hopefully in a months time we will have normal test results. The vet also said at this time he thinks the kidneys are working well as the urine protein was negative.

No worms showed up in his stool but the vet dewormed him anyway today as he says some worms might not show up in the results. We are putting him on canned food as well as his dry to try to raise his weight to normal. The vet seems to think he looks and acts like a normal happy healthy puppy, just is under weight.

Bear also went from 1.25kg to 1.35kg in just two days which the vet was very excited about. I will be take Bear in every week to have his weight monitored, dewormed again in two weeks.

Thank you all, overall I think this is good news. :thumbup:
