Re: My Baby Bonnie
I just have a second to post but wanted to say that in addition to the concerns that Debbie mentioned regarding Bonnie’s labwork, the sodium is critically low also. The potassium level is not listed so I am assuming that it must have been in the normal range. But even so, with the sodium at a critically low level, the sodium: potassium ratio could likely be low, which is a strong indicator of Addisons. Anemia, the low protein and increased BUN are also abnormalities that can be indicative of Addisons. I scanned your thread and did not see a current cortisol level, do we know what that is? And has Bonnie had any further bloody diarrhea?
As Glynda and Debbie have said, the anemia as well as Addisons can be life threatening. And so can HGE. I am very concerned about Bonnie also. Please ask your vet about all of these things. I am wondering if a transfusion is needed to stabilize the anemia. Addisons can become life threatening very quickly, even without diabetes in the mix. IV fluids and medication are needed if she is heading toward a crisis. Please keep us posted as to how she is doing and what your vet says.
