TRAX'S FIRST DRIP AT HOME


Mummy:

Trax's Urea was 63 (normal 7 to 26) and Creatin. was 2.40 instead of the usual 0.30 to 1.40. His PCV was 39. TP was 7.4 (normal 5.2-8.2)

Not sure what everything means but he needs to get his urea and creatin down.


Just did the drip today. Was very very nervous. Distracted Trax by combing him while doing the drip. He was a brave boy. Only one BRRFFF! in pain when the needle went in. Other than that, he sat there for the 25 mins to get 250cc of fluids under his skin. (Compound Sodium Lactate) .

Hi Grandpa Trax,
Mummy was suspecting failing kidneys. Unfortunately its something she saw alot of while working in USA. I think u are brave. Maybe i'll learn from u to be brave too! Please get well soon ok? Mummy says that urea is the waste product that kidneys are supposed to wash out from ur blood. Hope ur kidneys start working else its LRS for the rest of ur life? =(

I'm getting a bit braver now. I have to brag: Mummy showered me today and I made it through a nail trim of ALL my nails without whimpering! =) Still a bit nervous, but Mummy was so happy so I must have been a brave boy. =)

Rest and get well so u can scold uncle Barn2. Haha! Don't let him bully u ok? =)

Thank you Benny.

I am very tired today. Went for the National Dog Walk. Missed you! Dexter was there, so was Chester (Bond), Angus, Cody (two of them), Carrot (Cardi), Brownie and a couple of imported black headed tris (furkids of the President of NANAS).

Mummy says that I shouldnt be tired because she was pushing the pram and I was sitting on it!

You are getting brave, young one! You did well. Not only surviving the showers but also the nail cutting.

Kidney- hmmm..ya. Mummy freaks out every time she has to put the needle into me. Today she did it three times before she managed to get the needle in. I almost bit her!!!

Barn2. Hmm...that upstart needs to remember he is baby dog, not top dog. Enuff said.

Grandpa Trax.

Trax keep it up! Stay strong...

Normally urea will be excreted but if ur kidneys start to fail, instead of urea, creatin will be excreted...

I shall save one cookie for u for being brave... if u don't mind me drooling over it in the mean time.
