Advice please...very sick little boy
« on: January 31, 2008, 12:33:42 AM »
Hello,

This is my first posting, although I read quite often.

I own two blue roan males, one 4 and the other 6 months.

Bailey, my older dog, has recently become sick.  He has a high temp. and high white cell count, so vet put him on antibiotics and had him on a drip for a week...then he seemed to have a bladder infection, then ear infection, then blister in his mouth.

He had anesthetic for test yesterday, and he had a lot of blood in his airway...so he has been referred to leahurst small animal hospital for futher investigation.

Does anybody have any ideas...as I am worried sick

Thank you for any advice you could give me.

So sorry to hear your boy is doing poorly  :'(

So hard to say, high temp and white count are classic signs of infection (but can also be other things, just to throw you off track  :-\), but that doesn't explain what caused the infection or where it is.

Was the blood in the airway caused by the tracheal tube or is it part of his symptoms?

Hope you can get to the bottom of this soon, and Bailey starts feeling better quickly. Healing thoughts on the way  :luv:

Keep us posted

Thank you for your healing thoughts.....Bailey has so many people sending healing and love.....and I pray that somehow that counts.

The vet said there was bloody mucus and he has developed a small cough since, so it could be infection or caused by tube.

He goes in tomorrow and I'll keep you updated.

I'm really sorry to hear about your boy  :-\  you must be worried sick. Has your vet given you any indication of what they think it could be?

Thinking of you both and another welcome to COL too  :D
