* Urinalysis
Assessment & Plan:
Issue or Condition 1: Possible Kidney Disease
- Assessment: Based on the history of increased thirst, vomiting, and lethargy, along with the physical exam findings, kidney disease is suspected.
- Differential Diagnoses:
* Chronic Kidney Disease
* Acute Kidney Injury
* Pyelonephritis
- Recommended Diagnostic Tests:
* Blood pressure measurement
* Further bloodwork to assess kidney function
* Abdominal ultrasound
- Treatment Plan:
* Administer intravenous fluids.
* Prescribe anti-nausea medication.
* Initiate a renal diet.
* Monitor urine output.
- Procedures performed or scheduled: None
- Follow-up care: Recheck bloodwork in one week. Monitor for changes in appetite, energy levels, and vomiting. Contact the clinic immediately if there is a worsening of symptoms.
Additional Notes:
Owner education: The owner was educated on the signs of kidney disease, including increased thirst, increased urination, and lethargy. The importance of the renal diet was discussed, and the owner was instructed on how to administer medications.
Emergency care instructions: The owner was advised to seek immediate veterinary care if Bella experiences severe vomiting, loss of appetite, or collapse.
Specific owner concerns addressed: The owner was concerned about Bella's prognosis. The veterinarian discussed the importance of early diagnosis and treatment and the potential for managing the condition with appropriate care.
