[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 62619"] Took Abbey to the vet this evening for more fluids. He got the ultrasound report from the emergency vet clinic. Her pelvis is dilated, which means her kidneys are large which indicates they are not working properly. He said that the kidney infection will make existing kidney disease worse, but that with the report from the emergency vet, her age and the amount of water intake, and the severity of the kidney infection he thinks the kidney infection is secondary to kidney disease as opposed to the kidney infection causing the kidney's to look diseased. Hydrating her is going to make her feel better. He said that it's almost like doing dialysis because it does dilute the toxins in her system. We're going to do fluids again on Thursday instead of tomorrow, as he wants to see how long she goes before feeling lousy again; how fast she goes through the fluids and how well she is able to stay hydrated. He gave her a lot of fluids yesterday evening and she was drinking a lot of water already today. He said he could do more bloodwork, but he really wouldn't need to because she will tell us how she's feeling. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's wrong, but I don't think he is.
