Shelter euth list pull - no known history

Gimme your guesses 🥴

(I have Embark results I will post after 24 hours!)

**We have established pittbull. I'll give you some hints: His next highest percentage is a wildcard completely. The third and last breed is a small terrier.

Hey there,

Google has failed me. My search history now contains phrases no person should ever type, including 'dog poop woven entirely from hair.'

Current household status:

Dog #1 (suspected poop owner) ~ Brewster • 5 to 7 year old neutered male, • Pittbull x Yorkie x Bichon Frise. • Dumped in the city before a/c picked him up (microchipped, fam said don't call back). • I pulled him from the shelter on 4/27/24 and by 4/28 he was hospitalized (his story will be a whole other post 🫩)

Dog #2 ~ Bear • 9-ish month old neutered male • Speculated to be a Leonberger mix. He is big so maybe. • was in a high-kill area of TX, rescue i work with pulled and transported him here just for me. • dumb as a box of rocks • within the first month he gave me his first cluster seizure episode pretty stable since, but no reoccurring. No meds.

Dog #3 ~ Basil • 5 year old neutered male • British Lab • Only real medical history is injury related, besides one time his liver values scared the crap out of us for one day and then were normal upon re-draw the next day and since then.

Dog #4 ~ Trigonometry (Trig) • 4 year old spayed female • British Lab • not much to note, she keeps to herself. She's a princess.

I am UNSURE which dog this came out of.

We pick up poop daily, so this wasn't sitting outside long enough to become a science experiment.

All four dogs are on preventatives, but I know those don't cover everything so fecal testing is already planned.

We have a vet appointment in 2 days. We have been to the urgent care and ER this week already. Cat died last week after 2 ER visits and a f/ with primary. I am not asking for diagnosis as much as just... this is abnormal AF right?

■ Brewster recently had an acute GI episode with abdominal pain, slight swelling/firmness, complete lack of appetite. I took him to an urgent care vet who did a fast ultrasound to verify he was stable and then suggested fluids and an appetite stimulant. I took him home and packed a bag and headed for the an ER. > CBC, Chem, and electrolyte panels unremarkable. As in, not a single marker outside of the reference value range. > Urinalysis had a few flags, but not uncommon for a male dog; Urine Protein: 30 Bilirubin: 3 Urobilinogen: 6 Fast ultrasound confirmed no immediate visible crisis in the abdomen. The vet no longer thought X-rays were high on her list of diagnostic wants. She advised me to book an advanced ultrasound (apt 7/30) and follow up with his primary (apt 7/31). She suggested he may actually be having some back pain that only masks as abdominal pain. Gabapentin, carprofen, and IV fluids send home w/ me to administer subcu. I happened to find a literal hole in the roof of his mouth en route to the ER. No idea how me and the 18 vets he's seen have missed it this long.

■ Bear has been having loose, foul smelling stools. Yellowish green. No appetite loss or vomiting. Giving him mycellium powder in his food while we wait for vet. A couple of days ago, I found what I firmly believe to be a large chunk of his intestinal wall in his poop. No obvious blood. I think he is in pain because he is keeping his ears back most of the time which he never does.

■ Basil vomited a full stomach about 10 minutes after dinner. Mood remained unchanged. Unsure on poop quality because it's hard to confirm who's is whose.

■ Trig has no obvious symptoms to report. She is limping south her front leg/ shoulder. Vet apt (less urgent than everything else) is next week.
