Timmy went to the whitecoats!*Update-post#18*

[critter crazy]

Timmy, my moms Sheltie, went to the vets on Monday for a Pre-op exam for his Neutering this comming Thursday! Well today mom got a call reguarding his bloodwork. It seems that Timmy has a possible Kidney Problem, based on his bloodwork. So on Thursday, they are running the Panels again, and hopefully will find out what the problem is. At this point they arent even sure if they can do his surgery. We wont know for sure till Thursday afternoon at the earliest!http://pets-n-people.net/vb/images/smilies/added/no.gif Please if you can send some good thoughts for timmy, as my mom and I are very concerned! http://pets-n-people.net/vb/images/smilies/frown.gif

When I took Tucker in to be neutered, I asked why they needed to do the bloodwork. The vet told me that sometimes they catch kidney or other minor problems in the bloodwork which only means they need some medication until the problem is fixed and then they do the neutering. So I am hoping and praying that whatever the problem is for Timmy that it can be resolved by medication and the surgery can be done soon.

It may be just an infection that can be cleared up - keeping everything crossed for the little guy

Please try not to worry too much. I know it's easier said than done. My Starr had a UTI that was caught before he was neutered and then later on when he was having severe diarrhea the vet did an ultrasound and found out that he had a kidney infection. With antibiotics they both cleared up right away. I hope that the same will happen with Timmy.

I always thought that bloodwork was done to make sure that animals will be fine when they give them anesthesia.

Well Timmy is back from the vets, he was able to get neutered. But his bloodwork was still not good. so they want mom to bring in a urine sample next week, to run more tests!http://pets-n-people.net/vb/images/smilies/added/no.gif Timmy was also Microchipped, and is now a cone head!! LOL!http://pets-n-people.net/vb/images/smilies/smile.gif

Prayers that the blood work problem gets worked out okay. It's good
to catch treatable problems early.

Timmy's results are back from the Urine Sample. Timmy has Crystals in his Urine, so the Vet wants himon a Prescribed Diet, and to be on Distilled Water. Thank the lord that he is okay, and it is an easy fix!! Mom was so excited to tell me the news this afternoon!!:D
