ZOE'S RETEST DIAGNOSIS
2 & 7 MARCH 2017

On 2 March, Dr. Hathaway writes
My concerns still persist with her kidneys and protein loss.
The little bit of good news to highlight
I would like to proceed with the next two tests
Ideally we would perform these tests prior
On 7 March, I brought in another urine sample
I asked Vet Tech Matt to take pics . . .
Isn't her St. Patrick's Day bandana pretty?
On 9 March, Dr. Hathaway writes:
1) Zoe's urine test came back as positive for too much protein.
2) Her blood pressure was very normal, which is good.
Our options from here to further evaluate
1) We can perform an ultrasound to see how her kidneys look.
2) Continue with K/D diet since it is lower in protein and more kidney-friendly.
3) Start Benazepril which can help decrease protein loss and
4) If we do nothing and her protein loss continues,
I am leaning towards a combination of Options 2 and 3
What are your thoughts?
