She had blood tests done last week, & all that showed up was a raised white cell count (which indicates an infection or inflammation of some kind) & slight anaemia.
Some blood tests were sent away for more detailed analysis, & they came back with the same conclusion .... a chronic inflammation or infection.
On tuesday she went in for x-rays to see if they could see anything untoward, & unfortunately, nothing showed up. Annie said she'd x-rayed every part of her to see if they could find anything (although the initial suspicion is that it's something around her back that's the problem), & they've now been sent away to some orthopeadic vet specialist types, in the hopes they notice something that Phil & Annie couldn't see.
If that shows nothing up, then she's probably going to have to go for an MRI scan, which means a day out to Dewsbury!!
Meanwhile, she's taking anti-inflammatory tablets & anti-biotics twice a day - without the anti-inflammatories, her temperature goes sky-high ... a dog's temp should be around 101, but Daisy's is 105 without the tablets.
She's not like the manic Daisy at the moment - she has bursts of playing & running around, but they don't last long, & she spends most of her time 'relaxing' which isn't normal for a 9 month old sprocker!! This morning, until the effects of her tablets kicked in, she couldn't even manage to jump up onto the chair, & I had to lift her up onto it in the end.
Hopefully, they'll find out what's wrong with her soon ...... & thank dog for pet insurance!!!!
and spoil the in-patient animals something rotten. Don't feel too bad - Hunnie was non the worse for her experience - I was tho!!!!! Will be thinking positive thoughts for her.
) was probably the cause of her problems, & continuing on the 2 types of anti-biotic & the anti-inflammatory should resolve it. He thought it likely she's eaten something at sometime that has initially caused the irritation/damage, which in turn lead to infection & inflammation.
