mychip1 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks, again, for all the encouragement. He seems OK today - though panting a bit while he is curled up on the couch. His morning movement still had black and red in it, but it was formed - not like yesterday's straight blood coming out. He had his first dose of oral vitamin K this morning. I am continuing to watch him. Waiting for blood results. I the plateles are malformed - he may have a far more serious issue going on..... We are in wait and see mode.

Guest mcsheltie Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I am going to give the run of the mill advice to run every TBD test, not just the standard 4x panel. Check and make sure he hasn't been given K3. It is banned by the FDA and European Union for human consumption. But it is still legal here for use in pets. It does cause allergic reactions (it is synthetic)and a host of other nasty stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe she is doing a CBC and she mentioned two other specific tests....I am so afraid of any shots these days.... If he did get into something, I wish I could figure out what it was.

LBass Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm glad to read that Dustin seems to be feeling OK today. Waiting for results is nerve wracking. I'm hoping for good news for Dustin at the end of the wait. --Lucy Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.

mychip1 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Update on Dustin... All bloodwork came back normal (and vet is a grey aware, so she checks for levels appropriate for greys). He seems fine right now....in fact, more energetic than he's been for several days. I guess we are going under the assumption that he got into something. That being said, in my hyperworried state, I have been watching his gums and skin color for the past three days and noticed thathe goes from the normal "pink" to a brighter color on and off all day...probably all very normal - and he has most likely done this right along....but then I wonder.... He has a noticable bruise where she drew blood and he must have scraped himself going outside this morning - and has a pretty obvious bruise there. Dustin is very think skinned and has a very thin coat - so it may be that I'm just more able to see these thing on him....but I can't help but wonder if he's still "bleeding". His stools however are normal once again, thank God!! I will keep him on the vitamin K until he finishes the bottle. If it was a rat poison or something similar, they said it can take weeks for clotting to get back to normal. I am assuming that since his appetite and energy are good, that any toxin must be clearing out somewhat....though I am always scared to assume. Also, the K is K1 not the K3 that was mentioned as being of concern. To everyone....I can't thank you enough for all the well wishes.

LBass Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Robin, thank you for sharing the latest update on Dustin. Normal labs are good news, though I understand why you are still concerned and watching your boy like a hawk. Sending best wishes and healing thoughts for Dustin. --Lucy Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.
