    Susanne,

    Just want to say that I too echo what the others have said re the hospital. This is something that the docs need to look at alongside the darkened urine. Please let us know how things go as well.

    My best to you both,

    Gavin

    Patzel…I echo Lainy and Willow’s comments. If anything he can be evaluated, treated and is then able to come home.
    Hugs,

    I agree. Could be an abscess that could lead to sepsis.. The hospital can better evaluate and in meantime help manage symptoms.
    Hang in there,

    Der Patzel, I have not heard of this “hot spot” before and I believe he belongs in the hospital. Teddy had become very agitated and had hallucination’s for awhile and was put on Haldol and it really helped. He also was too strong for me to handle even though he was short he was extremely strong. I would definitely go to the hospital right away and while there they will have the means to help identify the infection. Best of luck and please let us know what happens.

    has anybody experienced a similar situation:
    right under the swelling of a painfull rib met an (internal) infection must have occurred, swelling under skin, hot and the area is red. It is treated by antibiotics.
    But cause still unknown.
    Since it is on the right hand side: how would an infection of the liver show up?
    Don`t really know where to start investigating, got us all (including doctor) by surprise.

    In the back of my mind is the thought about sepsis risk, is that a real threat?

    Hallucinations: can be due to strong opiods but could limited kidney function (dark urine and low frequency) or the build-up of toxins (medication) in the liver contribute to it or worsen it?

    I can`t leave him without supervision at the moment because he`s so confused that he might fall or something if left alone. Extremely difficult at night times where periods of agitation and drowsiness come and go.
    Doctor was thinking to admit him to hospital this afternoon (due to the risk that I might not be able to cope with a 100kg man acting weird) but not yet made a decision.
