Morning and many thanks Chief Inspector Crapdash, Inspector Poo, Amy, Roni, Barb and Wendy for your visits and the poo vines after I signed off. I couldn't get on the Board mid afternoon. Some good and some bad news, but the bad news has a diagnosis and is treatable. I'll try to keep it condensed, :? so much to tell.
The good news is that Mags had a poo early this morning, phew! Detective Poo and Chief Inspector Crapdash will be proud. I was so worried I would need to take her in for an enema, as this was starting the fifth day of no poo. Thank you all so much for all the poo vines and prayers. I looked back on my condos and notes, and the last good poo Mags had was last Thursday, January 31. Next day on Friday was when the abnormal lb activities started, and she just had a couple midget prezzies. The Vet called me yesterday llate afternoon with her test results and had me increase her Cisapride to every 8 hours, and the Lactulose and Miralax to the max doses. even if it meant diarrhea. So last evening she had some little syringes of water and Miralax, a couple treats of bf mixed with water and Miralax, as well as the lactulose. He was hoping she would go overnight, as he wanted to avoid putting her thru an enema. No more bupe for Mags, but she doesn't seem in pain. It helped the first couple days.
The bad news is the culture results back came back indicating Mags has Pyelonephritis, a kidney infection, so the UTI infection has risen into the kidneys. But the good news is that this Vet started her on the Orbax right away, so she has a little head start on treating the infection. The Orbax is the right antibiotic for treating it, and it's only once a day. I was reading a little about the Pyelonephritis in Tanya's Guide to CRD. The book is so much easier to locate articles than the website for me. Thank goodness it also agrees with her. Mags will need to be on Orbax for 6 to 8 weeks (I think he said or is it 4 to 6 weeks). She has to return in a month for retesting, the same exam she had this past Saturday.
Maggie's renal values have increased with the infection, but Vet is hopeful they will come down after infection is clearing.
Mannie, sur do need some of that good 10 hour and Espresso.
I need to pick up another bottle of the antibiotics and b/w results today. Wishing all a nice day.
