Bevd Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 We were scheduled to see the nurse (rather than the vet) this afternoon for Darcy to have her white bloods checked but this morning, Marc said that Darcy had squealed/squeaked twice when he was stroking/pressing somewhere near her jaw. So I've changed the appointment to a vet appointment because I need him to examine her so that my heart can go back to a normal beat Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

silverfish Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm so glad to pop in here and see that she's doing so well! Those pics are gorgeous, Bev! I love the windblown look - DH and I look like that out walking in the winter here on the edge of the fens. I think the wind comes straight from Siberia sometimes. That last one with Duffy is very sweet, too. Quote The plural of anecdote is not dataBrambleberry Greyhounds My Etsy Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevd Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 We're back. Hmmm. The vet doesn't think it's anything too concerning at the moment but he was able to make Darcy squeak by pressing quite firmly in certain places towards the back of her jaw area. I asked if it would be unusual for there to be 'anything' there (as a secondary) and he said that yes, it would be unusual. So, for the time being - and because Darcy's temperature was up - she's starting a 5 day course of antibiotics. Her bloods were then done and her white blood count is fine (yay) but her platelets are virtually off the scale. They started out in the low end if the low range but now they are lowwwwwww, low. (Figures listed below for anyone who may be interested). The plan therefore is to do her bloods again as planned next Thursday morning and if the platelets have come back up (and if the white blood count is still good) she will have her second chemo. If the platelets are still scary and/or the white blood count has dropped, the second chemo will be held over for another week. The figures then... White bloods last week - 6.4, and this week 6.8 (so they are climbing) Platelets last week 190, and this week 35 (normal range is apparently 175 - 500) If Darcy still seems to have any sort of issue with her jaw/neck area next week, she'll have an x-ray. Anywayyyyyyyyyyyy, it was all going along a bit tooo smoothly so I'm sure it's only normal to have a bit of a hiccup along the way. Andddddd breeeathe.

Bevd Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Tomorrow is the day Darcy goes back for her blood tests again and if all is OK with her WBC and platelets etc, she'll have her 2nd dose of chemo. If her counts are too low, the chemo will be postponed. I'll let you know what happens. Meanwhile, last night, when Marc & I got in from shopping, Darcy was so excited to see us that she had a game with Duffy, which involved leaping on and off the settee It's the first time she's engaged with another dog properly since her surgery but irritatingly, I couldn't get to the camera LOL.

Bevd Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Well, her platelet levels were back in the decent range and although her WBC had gone down slightly, it was still good enough for Darcy to have her 2nd chemo today So today, she's had the Doxorubicin and she has to go back on 10th Dec for bloods.
