Worried about Keva *Update post 64*

[cmayer31]

How's Keva doing? Any new come back from the blood panel yet? I'm glad to hear that her bump is a cyst, but that is a bad location rubbing on her harness.

She's definitely in my thoughts.

No results, I called them wednesday afternoon wondering why I hadn't heard from them yet...they said the results weren't in yet. Then the actual vet calls me back and said they lost the blood sample. I was going to have to bring Keva back in for them to draw blood again. Then they called back again later that evening and said they "think" they found it. I guess it was sent to the Las Vegas lab instead of the California lab...I just hope its actually the right blood sample. She's still not eating that great, she won't touch her breakfast but she eats most of it in the evening.

Well the blood test results (hoping it was hers for sure, they said it was) came back and they were normal. The vet didn't think there was anything wrong with her. So basically I think I just paid $200 to find out my dog is picky. Nebo did stuff like this all the time when he was younger, Shiloh (my manager's husky) does it too...so I wouldn't have worried if it were one of them but its just not like Keva at all. Especially turning her nose up a treats and even people food (she's not doing that now, but she did before I took her to the vet the first time). Oh well, I'm just glad she's okay. I bought another kind of dog food and she is eating that better, though she's not crazy about food in general like she used to be. I wish she would have decided to be picky before I bought a ton of the other food, but Nebo still likes it so it will last a long time with just him eating it.

Oh and her teeth are fine...I brush them 2-3 times per week, I've checked them and they look normal. She still chews on her nylabones too.

I am glad everything came back normal. How is Keva doing?

bump... just wanted to see how she's doing!

She seems to be back to normal I think...well a couple of days ago she went back to not eating anything, she vomited and had diarhea with some blood...which freaked me out. But she was fine by the next day, I think she may have eaten some of Skya's food which made her sick. She's been eating her food since then, and even back to howling for it. I changed her dog food, I think she likes this kind better, at least for now (she used to love the other stuff too).

I'll bet your nerves are frazzled Amy. Hopefully Keva is on the road to recovery, from whatever caused this.
