- Primary problem, when it began and if there was anything else happening around that time – November 2022 I received a call from the groomer that Harper Lee peed on the table and so she may have a UTI. She went to the vets the next day and was given antibiotics. Due to her labs an ultrasound was done and I was told she was in chronic renal failure and that her kidneys never fully developed. I was told 2-12 months was her life expectancy. I made an appointment at Smith Ridge in South Salem, NY. I had a dog that was a previous pt. with Dr. Marty Goldstein. Harper Lee is a pt. of Dr. Seo. Dr. Seo suspects that HL’s kidneys did not fully develop due to parasites and asked me if she was ever treated for parasites. She was not. However, when she was a puppy her brother had parasites and was treated therefore we think that was the source. He explained that her eosinophils were elevated for him – as the “normals” have been raised
- Is the condition better or worse from exercise, heat, cold, time of day, certain foods, emotional upset, being touched, excitement, etc? - no
- Has any diagnostic work been done? Diagnosis if available (you can attach your diagnostic tests to the post if you have them) Labs and ultrasound results are attached. She will be getting labs again tomorrow
