He is doing better today per the vet and will be sent home. Here's to hoping he makes a full recovery. Pets are $$! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-vets-on-hb#post-660052 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:31:45 +0000 chopsuey 660052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a vet, but wanted to bump this thread.<br /> Sorry to hear your dog isn't feeling well..:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-vets-on-hb#post-658884 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:11:27 +0000 Amelieisme 658884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My puppy is sick and in the hospital :( He is a 9.5 yo male, intact daschie (I know, I know, I'm a bad pet owner for not neutering yet...). He has a h/o an enlarged prostate for about 2 years and has had a UTI x 2 that just required po abx and cleared no problem. He has been sick this week since Tuesday morning. He ate a big meal that morning and was acting perfectly normal. When I came home, he was vomiting, but still in pretty normal activity. Wednesday he looked more lethargic and continued with the vomiting and wasn't taking food or water. I made a vet appt. for this morning. Overnight, he had a loose stool in my bedroom floor and there were drops of blood around it. I figured out it was blood from urine rather than stool (trust me). I took him to the vet. Blood work is all normal. Abd and chest x rays normal. He has lots of WBC's and gram neg rods in his urine. His prostate is "enlarged and very asymmetric" per the vet. I declined an u/s of the prostate for cost reasons and if they discovered prostate CA I read that prognosis is poor anyway. So for now, we are culturing his urine and treating with broad spec abx. The vet said that he did a quick unofficial ultrasound anyway and there were lots of cystic changes and it was pretty abnormal, but the only way to know if CA or not is by aspirate. Also of note, he is down to 10.5 lb from his 11.5 lb in August. But he has had a lot of stressors since August (we have moved, LO was born). Anyway, I just wondered how likely it is to be something serious/life-threatening? The plan is to keep him overnight in the hospital and treat with abx for 1 month or so and then neuter him. Thoughts? </p>
