paulus 26 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Sounds very similar to what my bitch had. Took her to the vets and it was an infected usterus, she was spayed and shes been fine since. you can smell an infected uterus from a mile away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Both kidneys AND liver are affected by lepto: http://www.labbies.com/lepto.htm There are two types of pyometra (infection of uterus) Closed and open. Open is very obvious as pus is discharged from the vagina. In the closed pyometra, the infection is retained inside the uterus and makes diagnosis more difficult by the layman. One sign is drinking a lot more than usual, plus the fact that most, not all, pyometras occur after the end of the bitch's season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,121 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wee update still at vet, staying there till Friday, shes on her feet, wagging her tail, the yellowness is all but gone, she even managed 3 small meals today, she has hepatitis so I'll need to do my homework to see what shes up against, the vet said although signs are good today she could relapse tomorrow and not to build my hopes up, he says it's down to the dog now and how her body fights it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remi700 99 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 It seems alot of different ailments give the same symptoms as that. My first guess was parvo but then I read through the other comments. Had a setter bitch pup that showed those symptoms exactly. Brought her to the vet and she tested her for parvo. Tested positive and spent the next week in the vets on a drip. Thankfully she pulled through and shes back on top form again. I hope your bitch does the same. All the best Mark.

socks 32,253 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 If its canine hepatitis mate the main way of catching it is through an infected dogs crap pish or saliva .... So maybe you could narrow down how the dog caught it .......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 8,121 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Got the bitch back today although I've to take her back in tomorrow for tests, 100 times better her poo isnt solid but isn't like water either, as the vet says he's got to do tests as the blood still doesn't look right, and it's not to say that in a month she might not relapse, but I'm just happy to have her back and I'll take each day as it comes.
