I posted earlier about Marla's Kidney issues and raised Microalbumin levels. Monday she went in for a BP reading which came back normal. Dr. Becker believes that she may have Glomerulonethritis which, from what I gathered, is an inflammation of the kidneys.
Dr.Becker would like to either treat her for this condition with meds for 2 months and then recheck her MA levels OR have me go to a kidney specialist who will give me a definitive answer of what is wrong.
I called the Specialists and it costs $1200 for them to run the diagnostics, BUT they will give me a definitive answer//whereas my vet has given me her best guess.
At this time we just cannot afford the $1200 consult and testing, but I hate the idea of the medication not working and having her kidneys damaged further.
I hope my doctor is right and its the condition I can't even pronounce!! I really hate that money is keeping me from being able to give my dog the medical care she deserves :(
