The endocrine system
The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. These hormones regulate the body's growth, metabolism (the physical and chemical processes of the body), and sexual development and function.
Clostridium Tetani is bacteria that are responsible for the disease known as Tetanus or "Lockjaw". Tetanus is a non-communicable disease (able to spread between person to person), that usually transmit into the body via a puncture with a contaminated surface.
Tetanus is a fairly dangerous disease, as the infection usually kills via the toxins it produces, which attack the brain and nervous system. It's hallmark signs are muscle spasm, including of the jaw, which usually keep it clamped shut. The dangerous bit is the possible paralysis of the muscles used for breathing, with being unable to to take air in and out you will die without positive pressure ventilation usually via a ventilator.
Normally the best treatment of Tetanus is to provide antibiotics and possible prepare for respritory distress. In essence you would just prove supportive care via several intubations and ventilations. These type of infections are rare as most people clean the area of the puncture well, and also have the vaccine.

I believe that she has Oliguria. It is the medical term for a decreased output of urine. Aside from that, there are many potential causes and the two that we see her are dehydration and a urinary tract obstruction. She is decreasing her normal fluid intake. Your body can't replace the fluids that you're losing. When this happens your kidneys retain as much fluid as they can. As for urinary tract obstruction, she has increased her protein intake. A high-protein diet can inhibit your body from eliminating all the waste products of protein metabolism. This can cause a blockage in your kidneys. This explains why she has flank pain and a high fever.
