After adopting this lovely dog that I found near our house , my family and I decided to take care of it , and we agreed to make him live outdoor . The thing is , in my country our home architecture is quiet different from the US. So we have external walls , that surrounds the whole are , so no body can see what's inside and it's secure...

But I am doing some research, and turned out that TT must live inside and I can see that because he scratches himself all the time despite , no lice is found after 1 week traitement .

So yeah despite him bounding very well with me ...I feel quiet sad actually because he used to live indoor apparently because he is very neat and incredibly polite...so yeah I feel bad

Our TT got her first heat on Sept 9th and we’ve been experiencing a cascade of symptoms since then. It started with her leaking a ton of clear liquid. Vet sent us to emergency room to rule out pyometra. Found out she had lots of struvite crystals in her urine and suspected UTI. Treated with an antibiotic which resolved the leaking. 2 days after antibiotics she started leaking again and continued to strain while peeing - we followed up with vet and repeated urine analysis. No bacteria but still lots of crystals. Vet prescribed carprofen. Took for 3 days and then sudden onset diarrhea. We switched to chicken and rice diet but diarrhea continued over the weekend. Went to vet on Tuesday - blood work is normal and normal fecal test. Prescribed probiotic regimen. Diarrhea escalating. Today she won’t eat or drink so we go back to vet - X-ray normal, no obstruction observed. Now testing for Addisons and a diarrhea panel. Prescribed an anti nausea and an anti diarrhea. She is very lethargic, but taking medicine and will eat chicken and rice with broth. She hasn’t drank water since Sunday but will drink bone broth. What other tests should we ask for from our doctor?

Our girl is from a highly reputable, certified breeder with no health issues in her ancestry. She was such a perky and joyful pup before all of this started happening 😭
