Poor Phoebe

[Phoebe's Mom]

Phoebe woke up as though it was going to be just a normal day. We took her outside to play and then she got sick three times and laid down on the grass. I got so scared that I called the vet immediately to inform the office that I was bringing her in. When we got there, Phoebe seemed to perk up a little and she even wanted to play with a GR puppy. The vet said she checked out fine--no pain in the abdomen, normal temp, well hydrated, etc. She suggested we do a ruine test as Phoebe has had so many issues with this and it was there they discovered that Phoebe has a high white blood cell count AGAIN. Becuase the vet is trying to determine whether this is vaginitis or a bladder infection, they are keeping Phoebe to run a different urine test and possible culture. I am a wreck waiting for the call to go pick her up an I am praying that this will be a simple fix once and for all. The vet agrees that the vomiting was probably unrelated to this issue but a good thing as now we determined that there is another issue brewing. How did I fall so far in love so quickly? I cannot wait for that call to pick her up this afternoon.

Hi Phoebe's mom. Thanks for your compliment on Koda. Phoebe looks so cute on the couch too. I wonder if it is a Goldendoodle thing.

Awwww.... poor Phoebe - and poor you! We're sending all kinds of good doodle vibes and hope she's feeling her old self very soon!

Funny thing is I do have pet insurance but I am being told that it is a pre-existing condition as the first time it was diagnosed was the day after we received her. I am continuing to submit the bills with a letter--preferably from our vet although I do not know how much good it will do.

I hope you have Pet Insurance if these infections are going to be an ongoing thing!

Phoebe has not been spayed yet--that appointment is June 2nd and I dread it! She definitely has an infection as she is back to peeing in the house today which had gotten better for a short while. Now we just need to see why she gets them so frequently. She is so hungry though it is killing me. She did not sleep well as I think she was starving. Everytime I put the rice and chicken in her bowl--which she LOVES--she looks at me as if to say 'you've gotta be kidding, that's it?!' Thankfully, if she continues to keep this down I can start transitioning her own food back in tomorrow. She is also more nippy which I am attributing to the diminished food consumption. Now we have added constipation to the list of issues which I had anticipated. Poor little Phoebe-this is NOT her week!

How is Phoebe? Sending you doodle hugs.

I am so sorry for you and poor Phoebe. I am glad that you got to pick her up and that she is hungry.

Awww poor thing. How old was she when she got spayed? Do you think the recurring problems have anything to do with her spay? I am a little worried because my Abyy was spayed by breeder very early. Some literature I read on this speaks of urinary tract developement problems because of early spay. Other literature refutes it so you never know what to think.

:( I hope she is OK and get better soon....
