Zara 05/21/2023

Woo!! Progress! Zara ate a tiny bit last night but she ate 2 small bowls worth this morning.  So she got to play with her lure twice.

in other news I need to figure out how to replace the squeaker in this lure toy or find a replacement toy. The squeaker is broken.

Zara - working from home

Image
Today is the end of the first week I've had Zara at the apartment and been working from home. She's loving the extra attention and we've been able to go out to the dog run to play several times a day. She also has been squeaking toys while I'm on a call, or has been sitting between me and the laptop while I'm trying to work. But mostly she's been handling it pretty well.

Good news the clavamox seems to be working! Zara's urine is no longer red/brown colored and is back to yellow. She is also trying to pee on her own sometimes, so that's really good! She can't pee a lot out at once so I still express her bladder, but any progress is good. We will be having her on the clavamox longer and then also going back to the Royal Canin Urinary SO dogfood, probably long term, because it seems the bladder grit is back. Not 100% sure but starting her on it just in case. The radiologist appointment will probably be later this month, to check out her kidneys and bladder. Since they both look a bit unusual. I will update again later :) we are gonna try to get out for a hike tomorrow morning. I'll update with pictures after then.

Well Zara's UTI is back with a vengeance. Yesterday her urine was red, and she peed involuntarily several times.  We took her to the vet yesterday and got an x-ray (checking for bladder stones) and then the urine analysis and urine culture again.  Also started her on the clavamox antibiotics again, until we get results back from the urine culture. The vet mentioned that her kidneys looked "cystic" or fluid filled, but wasn't 100% sure.  Today I got the call back, x-ray results showed no bladder stones. Urine analysis showed quite a bit bacteria, so still waiting on the urine culture to make sure clavamox is still a good antibiotic to be using. We are also going to go ahead with an ultrasound for Zara's bladder and kidneys, they're concerned about the bladder lining possibly having something going on with it. So I'm waiting for the quote for that then going to set up the appointment.  Zara has been drinking lots of water, she's still eating ...
