Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | 6 years and 5 months old | 110 lbs

My dog is in Georgia and from last 10 days she hasn’t been eating, drinks a lot of water and whatever she is eating she throws up and apparently her vomit is yellow They took her to a doc and the doc over their said that she may have kidney failure They ran some test but I feel that they are not giving me the correct info for some reason. These are the attach reports of my dog The doctor didn’t even explain what the reports mean I’m trying to get her back here with me in Cali

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The blood test was only for red and white cell morphology, it does not give any information about kidneys function. Please, get in touch with your vet as Christie needs a blood test called 'biochemistry' to check her kidney values, blood glucose level, liver enzymes etc. Excessive drinking and vomiting can be related to uterine infection (if Christie has not been neutered), kidney disease, liver problems, diabetes, tumor development and more. Christie really needs a blood test and ideally ultrasound scan or x-ray of the abdomen to find out what the problem is.
