I'm really starting to freak out now

[SunDog]

Ugh! The only reason I can imagine what you're going through is that my bully was very sick too when she was a puppy (11 months, bladder/untreatable uti's), and I remember that Google was NOT my friend during that acute time (though it has been long-term), and I couldn't sleep while she was in surgery etc.... Be strong. It sounds like you're doing all the right things. I'm so sorry this is so scary! Keep us posted. I'll think extra positive thoughts in case you forget.

Praying that you'll get good results! (And google's never your friend at these times, so keep your chin up!)

LOL I should know better than to Google stuff. I had a spinal stimulator implanted in June. While I was waiting for the surgery date to get closer I stayed on the internet all day every day, I was addicted. Of course all you read are bad things. I mentioned it to my pain mgt doctor the day of pre-admission testing and yelled at me. He told me to stay off the internet or he wasn't going to do the surgery lol

Sorry to hear! Ur not alone. Took my Tess girl in today we only had her 3 weeks she's been having diarrhea nonstop. They are thinking EPI! They are going to run some test but she real dehydrated.

A fellow spiney! I'm having fusion surgery in May. BTW I applaud you for recording your consults with the vet. Will try that next time. That way I can Google when I'm calm, not when I'm crying.

Hugs and prayers... praying for a good result. Please keep us posted.

Abby had her blood work and of course all the usual hugs from the staff at the office. They all love her There's nothing left to do now but stuff myself with chocolate chip cookies and wait. They are going to rush the results so should have them back tomorrow. I'm to keep her on the rice/beef and pedialyte and she added Pepcid once a day.

The vet said that IF it's kidney disease there's a chance that we caught it early enough so it can be managed with diet and medication. I should be focused on that and stay positive. But Google says that signs of the disease don't usually show up until the kidneys have all but stopped functioning and those are the words that I can't get out of my head.

Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers. Can I be greedy and ask that you keep my sweety head in your thoughts just a little while longer?

Not greedy at all... she will be in our thoughts/prayers for as long as you need to and then some

Oh my heart breaks for you too, I hope that what ever it is it will be found soon. I wonder if a liver shunt would cause this. That is one of the first things they thought Bella had, I guess they can be very common in bullies.

Please Please Please keep us posted and take deep breaths, you are doing all you can, don't ever blame yourself or ask "What if" most parents would give up or never look into it......HUGS

Hugs and prayers for as long as you need them, and then some. Yes Google can be your worst enemy and best friend. My boss likes to self diagnose himself all the time. It's easy to get wrapped up in our thoughts with only what we hear on the Internet. Hoping for the best for your baby!!!

 

[Saalwi]

So sorry ...will keep you in our prayers for a positive outcome and a full and speedy recovery.

Liver shunt? I don't know what that is and I promised myself I'd stay off Google

 

[mcraven2]

Google is the worst for times like this, seems you only find the worst information! Good luck and I'll be thinking of Abby! Keep us posted please!

I'm sooo sorry about your Abby. I would be devistated! I had a ROttie who drank like crazy and peed a lot.. I figured it was diabetes..and it was. I had to give him insulin shots, etc. He didn't get it until he was about 6 yrs old. It's not horrible..manageable. I pray everything is ok with your little Abby!
