Hello guys! My mom and I wanted to seek for some advice regarding our little dog Obi because he has been sick for 15 days now and no doctor seems to figure out what he has. This is the situation:
He started 15 days ago, with reddened skin, without itching and depressed, small blisters in his ears. For 5 days a veterinarian was treating him with Docloxacillin and metronidazole, with antihistamines at first, thinking it was an intoxication or an insect bite, then applied cortisone, all this intravenously and he was still decayed, not wanting to eat and had dark evacuation on one occasion, he has not had fever, the maximum was 39.5. Then he was hospitalized because of agitated breathing and decay.
At this moment the laboratory results are not favorable, he has a leukocyte level of 142 and low platelets, some anemia. He was supposed to get a biopsy on Tuesday, but since he has to be completely asleep, the doctor says it's not a good option. He is now hospitalized again, and will be for 3 days in observation. We are very concerned since we don't know exactly what's going on. They also say it could be something that he ate that was poisoned or toxic.
Any suggestions are very much welcome. Thank you!
