Jakey is Sick
« on: February 26, 2008, 10:33:54 AM »
I'm sitting her at work and can't concentrate because my special boy is poorly.  OH is taking him to the vets to find out what's wrong at 10.50.

He's peeing blood  :'(  I know a little blood looks like a lot when mixed with liquid and I keep telling myself that it's probably only an infection but I still feel terrible.

He is absolutely fine in himself, not pale, eating ok and playing with Lenny as usual.  He is drinking a little more, going to the toilet more and he even had 2 accidents during training last night which is something he never does.

The vet even told us not to panic and just bring him along in the morning.  It's a good job I'm not busy today I'd make loads of mistakes.

Always a worry, especially when you can't be with them yourselves, sounds like it might be a urinary infection. I'm sure he'll be fine. Hope you're better soon Jakey.  :-*

I know what you are going through.  I am waiting to bring home a little rescue cocker and she is poorly at the moment.  Can't concentrate on anything at the moment, just come home from holiday, washing and ironing piling up, housework needs doing and all I can think about is this little lady.  Think positive thoughts, he will be fine.

Oh, poor little girl.  Hope she's ok.

Thanks everyone, I'm trying not to worry and am hoping that it is just a little infection.

Oh Louise, fingers crossed it's only something minor and that it can be treated quickly.

my lab was the same recently and it turned out to be bladder stones, she had them removed and is right as rain now.  Good luck  :D

Sav has just called me.

They think it's cystitus so have given him antibiotics and an injection.  We've got to get a sample to them asap (gonna be fun getting that) and keep a close eye on him.  They want to see him again Monday or sooner if he deteriorates.

Not sure if I feel better or worse now  :huh:

My cat was doing this all day Friday all over the house (at first I thought it was Ruby as I 1st noticed it in the crate, then when Ollie peed in the washing machine I realised who it was ::)). Sample I got from him was full of blood

Samples from males dogs can be quite easy to get if they have a routine (ie, generally go for a pee at at certain point) --- I got one from Wilf quite easily once as I remembered he always had a pee straight after going on the park and I just took a plastic cup with me and a jar and managed one straight away. Or syringe it off a hard dry surface into a container.

Hope all is better soon
