Title: no UTI for Zuzu
Post by: Leslie on April 12, 2009, 09:30:53 AM
elevated bilirubin in urine, though.  They want more bloodwork to be sure (ka-ching!)
so no more accidents and no more fussin' at night.
Musta been something she ate.
I think bilirubin is liver function, so I guess I better get the bloodwork.  At any rate, we will have a baseline if there are any future changes.
hmmmm :dontknow:
Thanks for all the rays!

Great that there is no infection !   Did they give you the levels?  Might want to google some stuff today and just get some history.  Smoochies to the Zu !  :comfort:

I actually did not get the bloodwork done, as she shows no other signs of possible illness. 
She went to bed in her crate each night this last (long) weekend, but then started the whining thing again last night.  She quiets down the MINUTE she gets into the big bed.  (After walkies and cookie.) Interesting how it's MOM who gets up, puts on a coat and walkies her and then DAD who finally relents and lets her in the big bed.
She needs a bit more exercise to settle down at night maybe?
There appears to be no cognitive dysfunction, so I think it's behavioral.

I'm glad she doesn't have a UTI.   The elevated Bilirubin is indicative of liver and gall bladder disease in humans. Don't know about dogs though.     :dontknow:   That is really frustrating that you can't get more answers from your vet as to what is going on.     I hope its all behavioral and nothing is wrong.   :pray:
