I am literally at a loss right now. My 11 month horsfield has had slightly pink urine for about 4 weeks and at same time results showed high worm count and then produced bloody urine in attached pic. (Sorry if TMI). Saw local Vet who treated her with pancur and consulted a specialist vet who said keep an eye on trine as may be infection or may be food related.
Anyway, two days ago I noticed Eden’s had suddenly appeared everywhere and drove 80 mins to a specialist vet who took bloods (took ages as so much fluid under skin) and X-rays (which didn’t show any blockages or stones etc), however didn’t do cross sectional X-rays as she needed sedating.
I paid for bloods to be rushed to lab by Royal Mail and was convinced to leave her there overnight where they would administer antibiotics and pain relief.
Get a phone call next morning to say swelling had eased (which is really hasn’t at all) and I could come and pick her up Later that day to give chance for bloods to come back. Drove the 80 min journey back again - only half the bloods had come back and basically told me she couldn’t provide me with any definitive advice or even a suggestion without second half of tests. Which won’t come back until at least 3rd Jan because of New year. I promptly said that a week was a blooming long time without specific treatment but basically said nothing she could do. Did say that certain things in blood was elevated (can’t remember what) that could indicate liver issues but equally said urea levels were at a level that could indicate dehydration alone.
Got sent home with an antibiotic (daily dose of doxycycline) and pain relief (tramadol) every other day and then to soak twice a day with reptoboost. Giving meds has been an adventure! And that’s where we are at. I have absolutely no idea, not even slightest hint of what is wrong and feel I have just brought her home to die. I have no idea if she is in pain. She is eating fine and drank in her baths today. I am going to get another worm count done after her pancur a few weeks ago. She is pooing well and urates are actually best colour have seen them in a few weeks - no red or pink tinge at all.
If she is in pain I would rather not prolong things but I have spent £400 and none the wiser as to what is wrong. I felt judged and spoken to in such a rude way I literally don’t know what to do yet.
Looking for any suggestions right now.
