Abbys first urine analysis came back abnormal. I dropped off a new, first morning sample on Saturday. The vet just called me. This one is abnormal too. They want her in at 2:00 today for blood work. The vet seems to think it might be her kidneys.
She drinks constantly and pees immediately. She is so thirsty she will drink her urine if I don't catch her in time. Out on walks she will try to drink from puddles, I even caught her trying to lap up mud the other day.
I thought that I had the throwing up under control. I've had her on ground beef and brown rice for about 2 weeks. She was holding that down so well that I started to slowly mix her food into it. Yesterday I increased it to more food then rice and the vomiting started again. She's back on Pedialyte and straight rice/beef.
Even tho she was eating 3 times a day and holding it down, she has still lost weight. Last week when I had her in she weighed 12.75 pounds. Saturday I had them weigh her again and she's down to 12.12 pounds. She's 4 months old!!
Now they call me with a demand (not even a request) for immediate blood work.
I love this girl so much. I don't know what to do. I've had dogs all my life and I've never had one who so completely and quickly stole my heart like Abby has. Now they're throwing around words like kidney failure. I'm so afraid.
