As promised a follow up…finally. Took forever for some reason to get back tests…
So Lillie’s kidney values are a little elevated. Couldn’t find bacteria in urine. I guess that’s not too unusual. But white blood cells (WBC) weren’t high. When they are that suggests an infection.
Vet thinks 2 things:
*A bladder infection or UTI
*Possibly age-related kidney failure.
Guess which I’m hoping for…
Either can present w/ these signs & symptoms.
Treatment plan right now is Zeniquin (antibiotic) 14 days and Cerenia (anti-nausea) continue bland diet.
We’ll retest urine after treatment and see where we are.
While we waited I continued to give her Fortiflora until I ran out. She’s getting Wysong Pet Inoculant until the Chewy.com order arrives. Along with the probios she’s been getting Free Form. Omega 3 & 6 are great for inflammation even IBD.
This seems to have been working pretty well. [Knock wood.] No more throwing up. Peeing only when she sleeps. This gives me some hope that maybe she is fighting an infection and isn’t in renal failure.
Let you all know the rest when we get to the next part.
