Dec 12, 2011

Nervous silkie terrier. Slight pain in larynx.


Blood test - SGPT/ALT 109 (<59) but otherwise all normal.
Urine test bacteria +++.
Surprising to find bacteria in the urine of a male dog. Licks ventral area.



Calculated dosage 10 kg young dog D=0.4 K=0.5
This is old dog, 7.4 kg. Give 50% of calculated dose

Domitor = 0.15 Ketamine = 0.18 Total 0.33 IV sufficient
Teeth still strong. So only dental scaling




Noted tip of epiglottis red but tonsils normal.
