Answer:

The correct answer is: loss of appetite, anorexia, abnormal glucose levels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hereditary glomerulopathy is a genetic disorder present in dogs, analog to the hereditary nephritis in men. Patients (humans or dogs) with this condition have health issues regarding their nephrons (the functional unit of the kidney) with symptoms like hematuria (blood in the urine), proteinuria (proteins in the urine), hypertension and possible kidney failure.

Cefazolin is an antibiotic used for the treatment of several bacterial infections.

Cefazolin may be prejudicial to this patient because of possible renal insufficiency, so the dosage must be careful.
