Hi,
Hope everyone is doing well. Savannah is still OTJ, almost two years later!!! We've been very busy and I apologize for the delay in updates. We welcomed a baby boy last June, and well, it's been quite the busy schedule. I am writing to ask for any advice because it seems as though we may have another health crisis for my little girl. Savannah seems to have lost weight over the course of the past two years. She's currently about 9lbs, probably normal in most cases, but two years ago she was 12lbs. I thought maybe it was due to the fact that her diabetes was under control and she appeared at a healthy weight. Over the past few months she's had some soft stool here and there and diarrhea. It took me a while to bring her to the doctor only b/c I kept thinking it was a change in her diet, she keeps eating anything my baby throws on the floor and/or finds it in strange places. I was being meticulous about cleaning and it was still happening once in a while so we brought her to the vet.After her first visit she was given flomax?? an antibiotic to help with the diarrhea, she seemed to want to eat HER food more than my baby's and ended up gaining 10oz in over a week and a half! She's also started drinking water over the course of the months something she NEVER used to do b/c we only feed her wet food.
Anyways, here is some info that I have...
Based on a couple of tests, it looks like she may have CRF.
Her Creatinine was 2.0(a little high) on 8/14 and then 2.5 on 8/22.
Her BUN was 38 (nomal) on 8/14 and then 53(high!!) on 8/22.
Also,the test we took on 8/14 registered her Eosinophil at 580/ul and then on 8/22 read at 2760/ul. Not sure what this is yet but there's big difference here too.
Any questions of additional tests you can think of that we should run please let me know, your advice and support is much appreciated!
