Hawthorn Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 What a kind doctor to buy her the chicken! Sending more prayers for Penny's full recovery and to you. When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SoulsMom Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Oh what a wonderful update. I'm so sorry this happened to your girl. She's at Tufts, right? ICU there is so expensive I hope they are picking up the tab for her stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamborine Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 When my Odd Cat was on chemo for mast cell cancer, I read in a couple of places that the reason dogs tolerate chemo so well is that they get nowhere near the dosages humans get of the same drugs. This is done mostly to make the chemo more "tolerable" for the human owner. Is it possible that Penny somehow got what would be a "human" dose? Regardless, she's in my thoughts & prayers for a complete recovery from this episode....

tornadosgirl Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 They are picking up the tab. That's one of the first things they said, since it was their error. Her tummy is very upset now, so no food. They don't want her to aspirate anything into her lungs. She is highly susceptible to infection- the overdose knocked out her white blood cell count.

Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 They are picking up the tab. That's one of the first things they said, since it was their error. Her tummy is very upset now, so no food. They don't want her to aspirate anything into her lungs. She is highly susceptible to infection- the overdose knocked out her white blood cell count. There's a medication used to boost white blood count in humans during chemo. Neupogen (and Neulasta). I haven't heard of it being used in dogs, but it's worth asking about. It was pretty expensive when I was on it but that was 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadosgirl Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Tufts is giving her this (or something similar, if not this). They started that on Saturday. Thanks. ETA: They say she's "perky" this morning. She loves her doctors. (Hate to tell them, she loves ANYONE who gives her scritches. I always tell people, she would love Jack the Ripper).
