Haiku went to the vet 1/2/2016. I keep the crates in the closet, with towels on the crate floor and the doors open. Haiku likes to get in the crates and sleep. But she does not like being crated in, nor does she like being in a moving vehicle. So, she cries a lot on a trip to the vet.
But she was so good in the exam room: She let the tech take her temperature, and draw blood. She let the vet examine her. The vet was concerned about how fast her heart was thumping and thought the problem might be thyroid. But it was not. It is kidney problems. We have 10 days of antibiotics to give her. Haiku let the vet show me how to give her a pill, and I have given her two already. She is sleeping a lot more than usual. I suspect that is the effect of the antibiotic.
The vet gave us samples of food. Haiku likes the dry kidney food. Hills Science Prescription Diet Kidney Care http://www.hillspet.com/products/pd-canine-kd-canine-renal-health-dry.html. So far, she has not tried any of the canned food. She ate good yesterday and this morning, but is not very hungry right now.
I hope she does better. She is so sweet.
