My dog has yellow urine and low appetite. What tests and treatments?

Question

Bilirubin. What tests besides bloodwork. Appetite down drinking less. Should I get an ultrasound and an X-ray? What treatment is available no crystals no UTI no blood no white cells or red cells. Urine too yellow. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 8 years and 4 months old | 95 lbs

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

Bilirubin can be present due to a liver problem or rapid destruction of red blood cells. Blood work and an abdominal ultrasound are the two most commonly used diagnostics. Treatment depends on the cause. Liver disease is managed with medication and diet. Red blood cell destruction is managed with medications (depending on the cause). I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
