CARROT – 30287
Gone - 6-6-2018 Brooklyn
GONE 6/6/18 Carrot has an ingrown claw, low potassium, and may have some chronic underlying issue that causes her overall body condition. She wasn’t too sure about interaction earlier, but she was incredibly affectionate later on today and would head-butt quite a lot! She needs treatment to help normalize her potassium levels.

Hx: Intake yesterday – dehydrated, embedded nails
S/O) QAR. Hydration improving. Eating well.
MM pk.
EENT: Eyes still sunken, nuclear sclerosis, ears clean, no nasal or ocular discharge noted
Oral Exam: tartar
H/L: NSR, NMA, CRT < 2, Lungs clear, eupnic
ABD: Non painful, no masses palpated
U/G: Female. Small bladder.
MSI: Ambulatory x 4 but often down in the hocks. Left front paw – paw improved – less swollen, no discharge, less red.
CNS: Mentation appropriate – at times but head pressing other times. No circling noted.PLR +, pupils symmetric, no nystagmus.
Rectal:
BW: Low potassium 3.4 (3.5-5.8).
Renal values and BG WNL. THyroid WNL. No anemia. Else NSF.
A)
-Geriatric underlying – thin, neurologic.
-Hypokalemia – can result in weakness (down in hocks) and neurologic type signs – but this K is not that low..
-Renal values WNL on BW but cannot r/o renal insuff.
-Dehydration – improving.
P) Continue to soak paw daily. Paper litter.
Cont SQF.
Tomorrow VC/TC – UA, shave for spay scar.
Prognosis: Hypokalemia is treatable but given overall condition, it is TM. Consider rescue t=and referral to tx K and see if her signs improve. But overall prognosis – guarded to poor due to underweight state and neuro signs. Would need transfer to reg DVM for more care or consider EHR. But stable for now.

VET-P
Behavior:
06/05/18
Standing in front of kennel, ears forward. Strange behavior – doesn’t react or watch my hand when moved in front of eyes. Tilts body away when touched and remains in same position after I’ve closed the kennel door. Growls softly when pet along the back. Behavior seems to be affected by medical condition.
