Ok so I finally called the vet AGAIN since this was just ridiculous. I spoke to the vet directly & we went through all of the results in his bloodwork and urine analysis. Nothing came back abnormal except for PH levels. There's no protein loss that would explain the weight loss he's been experiencing. His white blood cell count came back normal which means no infection. So we're stumped…
In October when we went for his general yearly check up the lab sent back this information with his blood work that he could have Pelger Huet Anomaly. So I've been researching this to see what this is & if it could be the problem he's experiencing. It would have been nice if someone alerted me to this in OCTOBER and not January :mad: my resluts were given by the other Vet partner in the practice. My vet was very upset about it as well.
So we don't know why he's peeing more than usual why he's lost almost 5 lbs and why he's panicking every time he goes into his crate????
How long have you been in your new house? Did he crate comfortably in the new house when you first moved in? Is there any chance something unexpected happened while he was in his crate, and no one was there to see it?
Sometimes a big life change can cause all of the symptoms you are seeing…usually not all in one dog...but I suppose it is possible. Reaction to change might be exacerbated because he had a big life change as an adult going from the breeder's house to yours.
Is he eating his normal amount of food? You probably said, but I don't remember. Does his hair/eyes/elimination seem normal?
AND....why is Jorge's stocking so darn big???? Congrats on the lovely house, if I haven't said it already 
How is his appetite, and food intake? There is another thread somewhere here about putting weight back on an older dog that wasn't eating. If he is not eating the normal amount, maybe you need to add really yummy stuff to get his interest. Stress surely can cause decreased appetite. Good luck to you, it is rough to get a bad diagnosis, and sometimes harder to have a problem with NO clear diagnosis.
