昨日ベラちゃんの尿検査の結果が届いた。
前回より結果は良いけど、アビー先生曰く、ちょっと気になる事があるとのこと。

前回は異常に赤血球の量が多く、白血球が少なかった。尿路感染を起すとこの逆になるのだそう。
でも、酸性レベルが高かったので、感染症を起してるのは確実。
血尿と頻尿はその症状ということで、抗生物質を一ヶ月分処方してもらった。
結果、症状も消え、回復したように見えたけど、依然検査の結果が思わしくない。

今回の結果は、尿中のプロテインと尿結晶、そして赤血球の量。
今はなんの症状はないけど、将来的にまた何か発生するかもしれない。
更なる検査をしない限り、先生も何が原因で尿中の異常が発生してるのか断定できないそう。
今のところ疑うのは、結石くらい。

ということで、来週レントゲンと膀胱検査(バクテリア培養含めた）をお願いする事にした。
これでなんとか、原因がわかると良いのだけれど…I’ve got a new further result of Bella’s urine examination yesterday.
It does not look good.
According to Dr. Abby, it is better result than the last test but there’s something odd found.

In the previous test, they found the excessive amount of red blood cell and too small amount of white blood cell: If some kind of urinary infection was occurring, this condition would not happen. However, they found out pH level is high enough to confirm some kind of infection. So, she was prescribed for 30 days supply of
antibiotic. As a result, she seems recovered from a bloody urine and frequent urination.

In this time, the oddness in her urine is protein, some kind of crystal and red blood cell. Especially, the existence of protein is very odd to give an enough question: What is going on? Right now, nothing is happening to her as medical symptom but in the future something might happen. That’s what Dr. Abby is concerned about. At this point, Dr. Abby can not determine the cause unless the further examination is held such as x-ray and bacterial culture. She also mentioned about a possible urinary stone but it’s not confirmed.

So, we decided to go for the further examination.
Hopefully, this will lead to something clear about her condition.

昨夜のベラちゃん、２回もトイレに起きた。
これはとっても異例。
我が家に来て以来２ヶ月、一度も夜中にトイレに起きた事がない。
夜９時におトイレしたら朝７時まで行かない子だ。

そしたら、今朝一番のおしっこに血が混じってた。
直感でこれは「ヤバイ」と思った。
これもクロちゃんの件で学んだ直感かな。

ってことで、さっそく獣医さんに行った。
いつものファンキーなアビ―先生。
やっぱり尿路感染症だった。
女の子に多い病気らしい。
幸い抗生物質で治療可能なので一安心。

いやはや、今晩もおトイレ起きるのかな…
クロちゃん看病以来だから結構しんどいわ。

Bella woke up for bathroom twice last night.
It’ very unusual because she’s never waken up in the middle of night since she came here.
She is really a housebroken pup. We trust her a lot.
In this morning, I found a little blood in her urine.
It was very shocking and instantly I sensed it as a serious matter.
I took her in the clinic right away.

As a result, she is suffering from urinary-tract infection.
I kind of suspected that happened because I read about it over the internet.
According to the internet resource and our doctor, female dogs are likely to get this disease due to the short urinary-tract.
Dr. Abby prescribed us antibiotic. I hope this will treat her well soon!

I left an empty dog food bag by the back door. Since then, Bella’s been sitting by the bag as if she worshiped it like God.

It’s so funny because she believes it’s her belonging. I don’t know why she does that. She seems to understand it’s an empty bag!

Anyhow, she is a big foodie girl.

昨夜は2週間ぶりにおもらし。
どうやら、気が緩んだ隙の事件。
でもちょっと変。
水も夕方からけっこう飲んでた。
おもらしするまで一時間おきにトイレもしてた。
昨夜は結局犬小屋で夜を過ごした。

そして、今朝は初めての嘔吐。
どうやらお腹の調子が悪かったのかも。
だからおもらししたのかな。

今晩はどうやら大丈夫みたい。
そしてこの顔（写真）。
あーあ、乙女台無し。

Last night, Bella made the first accident in 2 weeks since the last accident. I want to believe that it was just a “whoops” type of thing because she and Hachi played hard before that.

She ended up spending over night at her kennel.

In this morning, she vomited fir the first time. It kinda explains me why she made a mistake. I guess she was sick last night. In fact, she drank a lot of water and went outside for bathroom every hour last night.

She was doing well since vomiting incident.
Her stool looks healthy. She acts normal.
I hope nothing serious is happening in herself.

ベラさん、昨夜ははじめての特典。
３週間一人ぼっちで就寝は１階の犬小屋生活だった。
それが昨夜解放された。

結果は、９０点くらいかも。
昨夜はずーっと１階のビーンバックチェアで過ごしたよう。

でも朝一番のおトイレは少々問題だったらしい。
ビーンバックチェアにちびっとおもらし。
ついでにキッチンにも。

真冬の外は零下だもんね。
そりゃあ、寝起きに行きたくはないわな。

We gave Bella the first privilege last night: Releasing her in our house over night.
She used to sleep in the crate for 3 weeks.
But she was allowed to sleep anywhere in our house.

She ended up sleeping on a beanbag chair at the downstairs.
In the morning, she was reluctant to get up for the first bathroom break.
She in result made a couple small mistakes on the beanbag chair and the kitchen floor.

Hopefully, she’ll be better tomorrow morning.

ベラちゃん来て2週間。
まだ少々おもらしあり。
大より小だから良いけど…。
カーペットはキツイ。

ケンネル風邪は治ったよう。
恐るべし！抗生物質。

歩く度に爪の音がしない。
肉球がもっこりしてる忍び足さん。
「ベラ バレリーナ」なんて呼ばれ始めたり…。
本人、なんのこっちゃ？ってなカンジ。
はい、飼い主の自己満です。

It’s been almost 2 weeks since Bella came home.
She still makes an accident but only urination.

Her kennel cough has gone away.
Thanks antibiotic!

Her toes make no sound when walking.
I guess that her pads are very thick, so she walks like a ballerina!
We gave her a nickname “Bella Ballerina”.
Yes, we’re silly.
