A 4-year-old F Shih Tzu was presented for loss of bladder control, lethargy, and PU/PD for one month. Abnormalities on physical examination were pyrexia (104° F), depressed, and a painful abdomen on palpation. CBC and blood chemistry showed leukocytosis, low MCV, neutrophilia, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia. On survey abdominal radiographs renomegaly, urinary calculi, and decreased abdominal detail with some possible liver involvement was evident. The patient was treated with I.V. fluids pending further diagnostics.
