āØSuzy UpdateāØ
Suzy has been to the vet and had results from her bloods and urine sample, as well as a physical workup to look at her leg issues.
She currently has a UTI and is now on medication for that. Her urine also had bilirubin crystals, which can be symptomatic of a few things including gallbladder issues, she also had Glucose in her urine, which again could potentially signify issues such as diabetes, however the vet stressed that her UTI may be throwing results off - so we are concentrating on treating that first, before testing further for both the bilirubin and glucose causes in a couple of weeks time once the infection has cleared. Her blood work all looks reasonable for her age.
She has a low grade luxating patella (slipping kneecap) which is why she has a hopping gait. We are hoping the stability will improve when she loses weight (she's 2kg over!) and builds better muscle around the joint, however we are going to seek further advice on this, and will consider surgery and/or physio if necessary.
She has also now had her full course of vaccinations.
