Ascites in Dogs

Izzy our 9 year old pitty started throwing up 3 weeks ago along with diahrea took her to the vet assuming it was a parasite. They gave us medicine about 6 days later she still had diahrea vomiting and her abdomen was beginning to get bigger. Took her into emergency vet after blood work and xrays her albumin was low and alt a little high. Ultrasounds show no tumors no blood in abdomen after amniosentesis chest xrays show no sign of heart failure. Anti nausea pills worked but abdomen still big and no appetite. Liver bile test showed slightly elevated but not bad. They put her on a diuretic but her abdomen is still big. They also put her on a steroid and the diahrea stopped and appetite is back. We give her b12 shot 1 time a week but her belly is worse and her muscles appear to be wasting away. The vet will not drain her abdomen because her albumin is so low. We haven't solved the underlining problem and not sure where to go from here.

my family and i had 2 dogs and after our oldest dog passed away a couple months ago our other dog whos a 9 year old Pitbull/ Husky named dozer got really depressed. He's got back to the happy dog he always was but the last couple weeks we've noticed his abdominal area slowly getting larger. at first it was just a lump of what we thought was a fatty mass, but i was looking at his abdominal area today and its huge. he hasn't wanted to eat anything for the last week and a half, instead he just drinks water, and instead of the happy playful dog he normally is he looks sad, doesn't want to play and doesn't want to stand for very long. i know that he has some type of ascite but how do i figure out what the cause of the problem is?

Mack woke up in the morning and wasn't right. Lethargic,vomiting water,wouldn't eat, unstable walking. Took him to Vet Emergency hospital. He had a septic abdomen, azotemia, peritoneal fluid and was in shock. Serum values: Bun >130 Creatinine 8.0 Phosphorus >16 Amylase >2500 Lipase >6000. CBC was normal. Abdominal fluid turbid and dark yellow, fluid Bun >130, fluid creat 9.8, fluid lac 6.79 We decided to euthanise him after poor prognosis and discussion with VMD. We are devastated. What do you think could have caused this? He was seemingly fine the day before. I don't regret our decision but feel I need an answer for closure. Thank you.

My 12 year old yorkie yes having a bout of what we thought was IBD but it went on a good deal longer than usual and she was began to lose a lot of weight. Vet placed her on Flagyl after a couple days the wet stools cleared but I noticed her abdomen looked swollen. The vet just found peach colored fluid in her abdomen. Her blood levels all came out good and besides a heart murmur her heart looked good on ultrasound. They want to do a more in depth ultrasound but it seems like something should’ve picked up in her blood panel?! She won’t leave my side and lays around all day now. I feel so terrible.

Hello, my 4 month old french bull dog was initially diagnioised with tick fever, his platelets went down drastically. He was prescirbed zedox and lysibin tablets. He started showing signs of improvement however since almost a month he has bloated stomach. couple of weeks back the scanning showed some problem in is liver. His hemoglbing levels are between 6-6.5 and because of this he is also anemic. Currently doctor has stopped all medicines and only prescribed denamarin as the tick fever symptoms have subsided. Currently he is mildly active plays around sometime of the day. Generally alert, eats his food but only if there is egg ! we give him puppy kibbles from royal canin with boiled egg white. Are there any specific food, medicnes available for liver issues and increasing hemoglobin levels and what are the chances of him getting back to normal and by when ?
