My Dog› Breed: Labrador & Alsation Mix
› Sex: Male
› Age: 8 Years, Male
› Weight: 20-25
› His routine: He used to be a very Hail -n-hearty dog. A very active and a Strong dog. But was intouch with other domestic dogs as well.
Symptoms
› He lost his Activeness:˜ From past many days, he was sitting dull and very reluctant to move even a bit. So, I got concerned.
˜ He is particularly not ready to move his back-right limb. It seems like something is hurting in the lower abdomen. My Vet is suspecting that the dog has hurt his hips and is suggesting for an X-Ray as well.
› No proper Intake; Vomiting:˜ He is not interested to eat anything. Even the sweets that used to be his favorite. So, he has become very weak now
˜ Whatever he eats, he used to vomit it out. But now, he is vomiting out Water only. Seems like his body is accepting food but not water.
› Frequent Urination - Drinks a lot of water˜ He keeps on urinating, even on his own bed, which is not normal at all. He never used to do that. His urine keeps on dribbling.
› Pain while passing stools˜ He has become so incapable of moving that even he is passing stools on his bed and never wants to move. He feels extreme pain while passing stools.
› Howling/whining n Crying ˜ He cries at night and tries to lick his lower stomach sometimes. He also feels extreme pain while walking and passing stools.
› Fever˜ When I first visited the Vet, it was around 104. But today, it was subnormal. (99.4 something)

What has been tried already
› What Doctors are saying?˜ From the report! Its clear that Kidney is related somewhere. Liver seems to be alright. My dog became extremely weak, so doctors administered IV Glucose. After half bottle of glucose, he has started responding a bit.
˜ Doctor gave him following injections on day 1
I LOVE DOGS! Tetracyclin, Anti - Emitic and B-Complex
˜ Next Day, the Vet gave another half bottle of Glucose and following injections:
I LOVE DOGS! Strepto-Pencilin, Doxy-Cyclin and some sedatives.
The doctor suspects that this is a case of leptopyrosis, but I donft think he has diagnosed it well. I suspect it can be something else as the symptoms are common to many other diseases (I guess)
Please help me out - what to do? I love my dog very much and cant see him like this. He is very serious and keeps on crying all day and night long. I have contacted almost every vet in the city and everybody in my family quite concerned. Please make my doggie healthy again
Any kindof help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a million
Ricky & Robin (the Dog)
