I have a 17 year old female. She is spade. Three weeks ago she seemed to be going to the litter box every 20 minutes and was leaking a fluid.
I took her to the hospital.. They kept her 2 days. Gave her some antibiotic and fluids. It was found by the tests, her kidney count was slightly just over the higher limit.
XRAY showed one kidney small and useless. She has always drunk a lot of water… Since we can remember she has always been at a sink or bowl drinking water.
After getting out of the hospital a week later… she was leaking again. I could not tell from where, but I knew she was not comfortable. She kept hiding. After a few hours it passed. I took urine to the Dr and it did not show anything. I was thinking it was her anal glands.
Yesterday… once again she was leaking. It does not smell, and it is pinkish in color. I would say maybe 20 drips total. She threw up, which has happened in the past with the same leaking. While she was licking and cleaning, she allowed me to look and see where it was coming from.
It was not her anus. It was dripping slightly from where she urinates. I also noticed that this area was flexing and contracting. As it contracted, a slight drip came out.
She kept cleaning herself and then dragging her bottom on the rug. This lasted only a couple of hours. Then she appears OK. Today she is fine.. but I can tell something is bothering her. She is eating, drinking, peeing and doodies all OK.
Any ideas what this could be?
Please help… this is my daughter…. I may take her to a different DR.
