Poor Raustyk girl * update on pg 5, not too good *

[lv4dogs]

Last night, shortly after I got home from work, Raustyk started whimpering out in pain as she was laying on the couch. She wasn't even moving around or the like. I called her off to see what was the matter. She could barely walk. Her hind end was so wobbly & unstable. It was weird & frightening, she was in pain and so unstable. Like a combination of toxins (except mentally she was sound) and pain/injury. She was like that all night despite pain meds, comfy beds & tlc. So today she spent all day at work with me... at the vets.
She had fluids, blood work, nerve tests, an ultrasound, and some meds. She goes back tomorrow & again Saturday for more fluids, tests, monitoring, etc...
Her bun & cre were high. Her bun has always been a little high, ever since I adopted her at 6 months of age. Now her BUN is 49 and her CRE is 3.1. Everything else was either at a safe level or were not too far off and shouldn't pose a threat. More extensive blood work tests were sent out to the lab as well & we'll have the results tomorrow morning.
I don't know the complete results from the ultrasound but I did speak briefly with the Dr. who did it. I still have to talk to the doctor that is handling this case more tomorrow to get more precise details. But overall, nothing looked too bad. The kidneys are a little small but I guess not small enough to cause this problem or any problem really, but then again it is not good for them to be this small since she has elevated liver & kidney values. I think if we can correct her levels now her kidneys should remain healthy or at least close to it. If not then there is a possibility I am sure that her kidneys will fail & or become diseased faster than if she was healthy. The cause for this is unknown, there are quite a few possibilities though. There was mention of another "non-normal" reading on the ultrasound report but I was unable to read the writing. But it wasn't that bad though. I will find out more tomorrow.
The reason for what ever is wrong with her is still unknown. It's small talk (or at least I hope) that it could be a few things, like vestibular disease, a blood clot, a brain tumor, some sort of nerve disorder or the like. I am hoping that it's not any of those though. The suddent onset of this and some of the symptoms kind of point towards those. But some of the symptoms & test results make it seem like it may be something a little milder thank god.
She is a little perkier though after getting 2 bags of fluids & some drugs.

I hope my girl gets through this with no long term, ill effects.

Thanks for all your well wishes, they mean a lot to us.

She spent all day long at work with me again, getting more tests, more fluids, more meds. Her levels are even higher today which is quite unusual.
Her hind end is a tiny bit better, not much but at least it is a little better. (of course most of the say was spent at the ves though too where her adrenaline was going). Her levels on the other hand are worse, and some of the things that were ok yesterday are not today.
The actual diagnosis and cause is still unknown though, it makes it tough to treat.
The 2 things (bloodwork results & back end problems) are most likely unrelated, we just discovered the kidney, liver & other organ problems while we were trying to find out what was causing her hind end problem.
She can no longer be on any anti inflamitories so I am researching an all natural approach with fish oil and hopefully I can find other things too. Her glucosamine & chondrotin supplements will be increased too. Thank god she can at least have some pain meds though.
We go back tomorrow for more blood work & fluids. Hopefully I get an answer tomorrow, or at least more clues as to what is going on & how to cure/help it. I feel so bad for her, I wish I could do more.
