Re: Upset & worried


Welll ive cautiously good news, i say cautiously because the bloods showed one of her levels (creatine) has got worse however the vet does not think the renal disease is the real problem. The increased levels will make her drink more & because the kidneys are weakened it isnt so easy for her to "control" her outtake & he thinks we are dealing with *incontinence so we are home armed with Propalin drops to try in the first instance.

Things have changed a lot from we last had a bitch with this type of *problem! If the Propalin doesnt work we can try oestrogen & if thats not effective they can *do surgery to help the problem

So, the news is brighter & I have munchkins home looking bright as a button. Unusually for her she was naughty in the way home & jumped the front dog guard into the front of the car which i would have thought impossible to do! *She wanted to be beside me that of course set the car seat alarm off - eventful drive!! *Had to pull in & clip the belt & "softy" (me) *let Katie stay where she was, hoping she wouldnt wet on the car seat - thankfully she didnt!!

Harvey wowed everyone he saw at the Vets, all thought he*was lovely. Got his jab & clean bill of health for another*year.

Re: Upset & worried


That's a relief Velvet. Thank goodness! I've a soft spot for your Katie for some reason (possibly cause we share a name!) so am really pleased to hear this.

That is good news Helen, quite a few options there.
Fingers crossed the first drug helps Katie.
Sounds like a very eventful ride home.

Re: Upset & worried


Glad to hear you have some options for Katie and sorry things are so tough at the moment.
Out of interest, how old is Katie?
