Klaas - I hope you feel better soon.


MT - How did it go at the vet's?

[klaasend]

Klaas,I don't think you can be overly cautious.Better to be safe than sorry.
Now,do you want us to go kick his azz for calling you overly cautious. 

YES!  The doctor was basically a jerk and acted like I was stupid to even come in.  Then he acted like he was doing me some HUGE favor by giving me the prescription for the cough med with codeine, well guess what...I didn't say please give me something to help me sleep through the night!

Hi all

Klaas hope you get to feeling better soon. I just love these Doctors that tell you that you are basically over acting. 

MyTime how did the vet visit go? Are you all right?

[mytime]

Klaas - I am glad you went anyway.  That Dr does sound like a jerk.  I wish you mentioned the word malpractice when he said overly cautious.   

My little guy is in chronic renal failure.  I will be giving 100cc of Saline 2x a day. I am not thrilled with the idea of needles but leaving him there for a few days was not an option for me either.  He is on a special diet (K/D).  If he is not doing better by Friday, he will have to be hospitalized.

My mom died of renal failure and my dad has kidney cancer.  I guess bad kidneys run in my family.

Thank you GE, Trimm and all my monkeys friends.   

My head is pounding from all adrenalin runny through my body.  He just ate good and drank some water and now he is sleeping.

Thank you Fanny! Seeing him this way just breaks my heart.

Mytime - how old did you say he is?  My pups are 13 and 11 and I don't know what we would do if anything happens to them.  I know they won't live forever but we don't want to think about it.

He is almost 14 years old.  I never wanted to think about it either Klaasbut now I have no choice.  The vet said it is not a "death sentence" though.  Please let him be right!! 

The strange thing is - it happened over night - visually!!  But the blood test showed it has been chronic not acute.

He obviously does not know our Klaas.

Let's kick him where it hurts!!!

 




His wallet!!!

[Bearlyhere]

This is very weird.

In the 2nd row of icons (after clicking on more), click on the 6th icon, with the two red smilies arguing.  Then hit preview or post.  See what comes up.

[klaasend]

Thanks Muffy, lol.  I'm not even going to get that prescription filled.  That's all I need is to be juiced up on codeine every night in the forum, LOLOL

The strange thing is - it happened over night - visually!!  But the blood test showed it has been chronic not acute. 

We had a pup who developed the same at the age of 5.  Blood work said the same, yet the symptoms came on suddenly.  Vet couldn't say for sure, but suggested he ingested somehting toxic that damaged his kidneys, and also that it was possible that he had only one functioning kidney all along and that it deteriorated.  They took him in a couple of times and hooked him up to IV to flush his system.  Both times he came home like new but eventually got lethargic again.   We were told dialysis would help, but there was no facility in our area that had it and it would be expensive.   He didn't make it, though (this was almost 20 years ago)....he was a great dog,   

I'm glad the vet has a positive outlook and hope your little guy pulls through & has a few more years left in him.  I can imagine what you are feeling and hope that I didn't make you feel worse with my story.
