Jean Update
Jun. 16th, 2004 01:07 pmJust spoke with the vet about Jean. Some of the blood work had come back, Jean is in the early stages of kidney problems so we need to get her on the special kidney failure diet, she is a little dehydrated, but we don't have to consider starting her on subcutaneous fluids yet. We need to do the scruff of the neck tenting test on her daily to see if she is getting more dehydrated, but if she is eating alright she should be okay. After her new diet has had some time to start working we should check her kidney functions again to see whether or not she could handle maybe being put under anesthesia to have work done on her teeth/gums. The vet said some of her numbers are odd, concerning concentration levels. The vet is going to call tomorrow evening with the rest of the blood test results. Poor little Jean, she's being very good about all this though. She doesn't like being given her oral fluid antibiotic, but she doesn't try biting or scratching us, she just wants to get away. Such a good little girl. Sigh.
