Glad she did ok!
-
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
-
This particular one specializes in it, but she wasn't in and the other did the reading. They did send it off also for kidney panel....not sure if that lab will do a count as well.
-
These were the hand counted slides at the vet. Tomorrow the vet who counted before will look At a slide. I was dubious about the range.
-
Platelet recheck today....was 107,000 five weeks ago. Today's hand count showed a range of 65 to 85 k. I am not sure why the range this time,but I am concerned about the drop. The vet who counted it is not the vet who has been working with this. That doc will call me tomorrow....but to ossified you put there, would this fluctuation dog concern? This all started from a machine count in the 40's and two days later a hand count up at 107... And now this.

Hoping for good days for Jimmie.

My JJ has a high prey drive.....we avoid little dogs.....but don't let it make you think any differently of her.....just because they have that drive in them, doesn't take away from the big ball of love that they are I other situations.....my JJ is the most happy go lucky guy...but I would fear what he could do to a small dog if things kicked in with one loose with him....
-
Many good thoughts and prayers....

Many good thoughts for you both.
-
Amber's approach, other than the Pepcid, is right on with what we do with Dustin....though Dustin is on royal canon digestive food. Watch for the earliest signs and address ASAP.
-
When Dustin's belly flares up, the sucralfate and flagyl help. We do have him on daily Pepcid.....we have not diagnosed Dustin's flare ups as anything specific as I don't want to put him under to test when treatments are similar regardless. We are noticing a seasonal pattern. Flare ups during August thru October.....assuming allergy triggered.
-
He is so beautiful.....and very blessed to have a human who is doing everything possible for him....
Many well wishes....
-
Hand count shows a platelet count of 105K!!!!! We will recheck in four weeks to be sure that it is steady!
-
Thanks, Kyle! All good thoughts are always appreciated. After watching Jack turn purple as he was dying, I am a bit hysterical....but JJ seems basically healthy.
-
Amylase was fine.
The clumping factor is why she wants the hand count.
I believe he has had the snap 4dx
-
Best wishes for recovery on all ends.....
-
The pictures of Slayers are what EZ's blackheads looked like - and my recent foster hound. Both let me squeeze them....
But...uhm.....yeah.....those are nipples!
-
We will see what the hand-counted number is and then go from there. If it is the case that it is the tick borne illness, what is prognosis?
-
OK....so we had held off on surgery for a lump (which incidentally went away) because JJ's blood counts were off....
four weeks ago... Platelets 49K Creatinine 1.9 Lipase 3900
Recheck today - PLatelets 41K Creatinine 2.0 Lipase 2665
After the tests four weeks ago, he went on an iron supplement for two weeks and went on a lower protein, low-fat diet.
He is in thyroid meds, and was on metrondionzole (after eating Daddy's leather wallet), but they do not believe there is a connection.
His red blood count is in within range....on the higher side of the range (8.4), but still within where it should be. All other counts on CBC are fine except the platelets.
They are sending me tomorrow for a hand-counted platelet slide.
Any thoughts?????
-
She is beautiful and very lucky..... Clearly she hit the parent jackpot!
-
These "milestone" dates are so hard......may your fond memories help you through.
-
Godspeed sweet boy.
-
So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful hound....
-
Best wishes for his continued improvement.
