Sorry to just drop in again when things go wrong. Does anyone have any information on acute kidney disease? Honey has had a terrible week. She stopped eating on Tuesday morning, but it was different from her usual episodes. As usual I got her straight to my vet, who couldn’t get her pain under control so referred her to D1ck vet Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday they found her blood levels for her kidneys were too high, about 3-4 times too high! They done an ultrasound and a ct, which should no problems with her kidneys so they are saying she has acute kidney failure.
They have had her on double fluids and repeated the blood test yesterday which showed everything on the higher end of normal. The plan is to wean her off fluids over the weekend and repeat the blood test on Monday, and again about a week later if it is still ok.
Does anyone know what could cause acute kidney disease, and can rabbits kidneys return to properly functioning afterwards?
Honey has so many other problems, including spondylosis of the lumbar and thoracic spine, nodules in her lungs, an abscess in her mandible, constant snuffles, and a urine infection which they say is unrelated to the kidney disease.
