HopeForHounds Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Well, look at this. They used direct pressure, then put a bandage on. That was at 9:45 today. I took the bandage off at 5:30. I was not expectlng the large bruise above where the blood was taken.

Tallgreydogmom Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Janet - Have they suggested soaking his foot in Epson Salts. I remember April had a "Deer Foot" and I soaked it 3 times a day.

HopeForHounds Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just got this email from Miki. "The bloodwork is back and it looks fantastic. There is a slighly low white cell count and high red cell count in the typical greyhound fashion! All liver/kidney/protein/electrolytes values are normal. The platelet count is normal. Jake is perfect on paper, and the metacam is not causing any issues" I've asked her a few more questions, but I'm liking these reults a lot. Leg is improving, swelling slowly reducing. It is slightly purple again, and that worries me. I'm sending a new photo to Miki so she can see.

KF_in_Georgia Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Leg is improving, swelling slowly reducing. It is slightly purple again, and that worries me. I'm sending a new photo to Miki so she can see. I think purple is not bad news. In bruises, purple usually is older blood. When I had a badly sprained ankle, the darkest bruising showed up when the swelling went down and some of the blood from the blood vessels I had ruptured in a fall actually were released from where the swelling had constrained them.

Missing Silver (5.19.2005-10.27.2016), Tigger (4.5.2007-3.18.2016), darling Sam (5.10.2000-8.8.2013), Jacey-Kasey (5.19.2003-8.22.2011), and Oreo (1997-3.30.2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
