Last night I took my dog for a walk in the park. We walked about a half a mile and he was alright sniffing around. Wanted to start running with him but he suddenly lost his cheerfulness. Raised his butt up a bit (thought he had problems with his back for a second) and he couldn't walk very good. I went fast to get the car and took him home.
I left the dog with my mom because i had to go to work. This morning my mother called me to come quick because the dog wasn't feeling so good. By the time i got home he couldn't move and he pooped while lying on the carpet. I had to put him on a carpet and carry him into the car.
I arrived at the vet (clinical-hospital) first thing the doc observed that his gums and tongue, and eye mucous were pale (he said he has anemia). Oscar (my dog) could hardly breathe (actually since i got home to get him wasn't breathing well). So he used an ultrasound (MRI?) device to see what's going on. He observed that there's something wrong with his heart.
In a nutshell:
He told me that there's ("pericardic") liquid in his heart and that it can be with blood or either without. Either way he suggested a puncture to drain the liquid and determine a diagnostic. He took out ~50 ML of blood out of there. His breath returned to normal.
The doc gave Oscar an infusion with anti coagulants i think. Also we had to put a urinary probe
Blood report showed that:
(Age - 11, breed sheppard)
TGO (min 9 max 57 UI) 173.8
TGP (min. 8.5 - max 55 UI) 151.7
Amilaza pancreatica (min 270 - max 1100 UI)
Glucoza (min 60 - max 115 mg/dl) 281.3
Uree (min 8 - max 50mg/dl) 66.9
Creatinina (min 05 - max 1.6 mg/dl) 2.2
Fosfataza alcalina (min. 10 -max 100 UI) 154.6
Lipaza pancreatica 52.8
They aren't sure of a proper cause, nor of a treatment. Please help me out with finding what's the cause, but most importantly how to treat him!!!
