[Dailydrool] albumin number

[Racetrcker at aol.com]

Hi everyone,
 
I need some information from anyone who has had experience with  this.   
Maddie (who just turned 7) needed some dental work and had the  blood panel to 
make sure she could go under the anesthesia.     The results came back and 
in addition to an UTI which she is taking antibiotics  for right now she 
also has a very low albumin number.   This has  something to do with protein 
and the liver but I really didn't understand  everything the vet said.   She 
has recommended doing an ultrasound to  see what shows up so that we can 
treat anything which is causing  this.   Maddie seems very healthy - just like 
she always is.  Her  appetite is good and she is a happy dog, especially when 
she is bossing Rocky  around.   I'm thinking we should probably do the 
ultrasound but since  my husband is still unemployed and funds are getting quite 
low the $500 is a lot  at this time.   But we are committed to taking care 
of our kids just  like everyone else on this list.  Has anyone had 
experience with a low  albumin number and what was done about it?   I will appreciate 
any and  all responses.  
 
Also I just wanted to mention that I really liked the way the  calendar 
dates were handled this year.  I wasn't able to get my choices in  right at 
10:00 and was about 20 minutes late for that but did get one of my five  
choices so I am happy.   This seemed a lot less complicated that  previous years 
with Cecil Graphics.   
 
Carol
