I am going to have a fibroscan in a couple of weeks and i am expecting to have advanced liver fibrosis and ciarrhosis
(not sure if thats spelt right)! I have heard of ciarrhosis measured in terms of 'stages', can anyone give me any infomation on what the stages mean so that i can be a little prepared for my appointment?
Seizure activity and signs of neurological problems are common in dogs that are in the end stages of kidney failure due to the buildup of toxins in the body, so it's entirely possible that what you observed was the result of the kidney failure.
Luckyyy! I believe we're due the same day! Ive been losing pieces of my mucus plug but no blood. What other signs or pain have you been having?
I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
1. Vomiting of blood (caused by varices from increasing blood pressure in the liver and requires IMMEDIATE attention);
2. Swelling, especially of the extremeties, like ankles and legs (called edema);
3. Swelling of the abdomen/sudden weight gain (caused by liver retaining fluid, called ascites);
4. Extreme forgetfulness/confusion or loss of cognition (called encephalopathy); and/or
5. Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice).
Is he on any oxygen? IF he isn't then maybe his extreme tiredness is because his O2 levels are too low. If he is on O2 already, it still could be that he isn't getting enough oxygen. What do his doctors say about this? Also, as his work of breathing increases, he will be more tired as well. I would talk to his doctor about your concerns, maybe he should be re evaluated to make sure that he is getting enough oxygen, perhaps meds need changing etc...Only his doc will know for sure.
Stage 1 is considered a small amount of fibrosis. Stages 2 and 3 is considered a greater amount of fibrosis or scarring meaning the disease has progressed. The more fibrosis the harder it is on the liver to carry out it's functions. As the damage progresses further, many scars can form together, which can lead to stage 4, or cirrhosis.
In the late stages of syphilis, the disease may subsequently damage the internal organs, including the brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints. Signs and symptoms of the late stage of syphilis include difficulty coordinating muscle movements, paralysis, numbness, gradual blindness, and dementia. This damage may be serious enough to cause death.
The classification is not based on Chest X-ray findings but occasionally early limited signs of emphysema may be noted. If minimal, they are of little or no consequence functionally but should be taken as a warning sign that if one smokes, he should quit soon.
Do not rely on the word of the “lab person who said it looked like early states of emphysema” but, even if his/her interpretation was valid, the key word is “early.”
You mention “wheeze”.
I am so very sorry about your little dog's passing.
I obviously can't tell you what the cause of his death was. Only a necropsy (autopsy) could determine that.
I am making an educated guess however, as when you said he had belly contractions, this reminded me of my own dear dog who passed from hemangiosarcoma. She had a massive internal bleed in her last few hours, and kept contracting her belly muscles. I know this was an instinct to try to get something out of her insides.
I know this seems unrelated but do yall believe in signs? I know for some this may sound dumb.I had this girl name picked out then my bf brothers gf decided she was going to name their lil girl the name (I talked them out of it) then my bfs xwife named hers and my bfs sons new puppy the name (which I got over the fact of her sharing the name with the puppy) but then the puppy died. Now I feel like its a bad omen to name my daughter the name ive always loved...
It has been known that anti-phsycotic drugs especially risperidone have been known to lengthen the q t interval and cause sudden death also with people with a family history of sudden death( which our sister died of unexplained death(cot death) age 4 months) can heighten the risks of qt prolongation. If this is the wrong forum could someone please tell me where go to next or who can help me with my query.... i'm not looking for an answer but to a possibility.
