Hello please can you help me, my dog Bremner has been ill approximately every 6 weeks since we bought him at 12 weeks. His first reccuring problem is lack of appetite and vommiting and diarrohea. He is very lethargic and has itchy skin. The vet thought he had a food intollerence and we have changed his diet several times. He is now on a total wheat and glten free diet and at the moment his vommititng has subsided. He has also had a long term bladder problem. From being young he has always needed to go out about once an hour but only passes small ammounts. After he was neutered he was very ill and could not shake off the effects of the anasthetic. He was unable to pass urine and needed to be cathatarised, following this he was diagnosed with struvite crystals. This was 2 months ago. Since then his urine has become deep red like red wine.I took him back to the vet thinking it was bllod but after 3 urine tests and bllod tests the vet said it was so acidic it was off the scale. He said the bilirubin was very high also. He thought there may be a liver problem but the bllod test was normal except that the white cell count was high. He once again gave him antibiotics as he said there was some kind of infection but he felt it was not a urine infection as there was no infection in his urine.Bremner has been given antibiotics at least 18 times now and he never seems to be well. He is small for his breed and thin but not skinny.I feel there is some thing wrong but the vet never investigates further.please could you let me know what you think,any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
