A 12-year-old FS Golden Retriever with history of previous foreign body ingestion was presented for PU/PD and trouble walking over the course of several months. The only significant finding on physical examination was a 10-pound weight loss. Trace hematuria and leukocyturia was evident on urinalysis. Abnormalities on CBC and blood chemistry included anemia, elevated ALP and GGT activity, hypercholesterolemia, hyperamylasemia, and hyperkalemia. 4DX results were negative, and T4 was low. The patient was treated with Rimadyl, Soloxine, and cephalexin.

The patient was treated with Rimadyl, Soloxine, and cephalexin. Abnormalities on recheck urinalysis a month later were inappropriate specific gravity, hematuria, 3+ proteinuria, 1+ leukocyturia, and presence of epithelial cells. On CBC reticulocyte count was high and the reticulocyte production index elevated. T4 was within normal range.
