Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The update so far is that he has been having many heavy, fast panting sessions when he wakes up (the house is cool, its not heat). I am concerned there is a little pain, but he still is acting playful and excited to go on walks. I found a new bruise on his groin yesterday . He has an appointment for 10 AM wednesday morning for the bone marrow biopsy (they took forever to get back to me) and I am going to shuttle a blood sample over to good samaritan hospital that same morning. Unfortunately I wont know more until then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryhnd_adoptee Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The update so far is that he has been having many heavy, fast panting sessions when he wakes up (the house is cool, its not heat). I am concerned there is a little pain, but he still is acting playful and excited to go on walks. I found a new bruise on his groin yesterday . He has an appointment for 10 AM wednesday morning for the bone marrow biopsy (they took forever to get back to me) and I am going to shuttle a blood sample over to good samaritan hospital that same morning. Unfortunately I wont know more until then! Just throwing a thought out to the wind here. Many, many years ago I had a health issue which caused a great deal of blood loss, but slowly over a pretty long period of time (I was fixed up with transfusions and surgery), but because it was a gradual thing, I never tied it to the fact that I was easily winded whenever I got up to walk anywhere, even if it was across the room. Part of what was happening was as my red blood cells were decreasing with the loss, so was my oxygen carrying ability causing my lungs and heart to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.....thus always short of breath. I was told after I was all fixed up that I could have suffered a heart attack due to the lack of oxygen my body needed to function. I was beyond anemic, and instead of red blood cell rich blood, I was mostly water. Just a crazy thought......but do you think that would be the same kind of thing going on with Neko? Could he be panting due to shortness of oxygen rather than pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FawnFan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nekos Mom - first, I have to commend you on being one of the most patient people I've encountered. Next, I'm so very sorry you and Neko are going through this situation. The pictures on the first page break my heart. Next, I'm just seeing this whole thread and I would have lost my patience ummmm... three weeks ago?!! Let's just say I'm amazed at what you're going through... and you're in the business. I really hope and pray they are able to figure out what is causing your precious, adorable looking boy all these problems. Just a thought... have you been in contact with any of his siblings and their owners? Maybe one of them have already been through this and could help move this process along for you? Will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping he gets a diagnosis soon and can recover quickly. -Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryhnd_adoptee Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I was just browsing around on FB and came across this link which was posted on a holistic pet page. It mentions oxygen deprivation with low red blood cell count. This supports my post earlier about how I felt when I was low on red blood cells, so it seems it is the same for dogs as well as people. I was hoping the article had more information overall, but has some useful information. I might be inclined to ask the vet if it's safe to continue walks until you can find out some more information on his condition. I would be afraid of the affects on Nekos body with lower oxygen supply during a walk. I so hope the vets can get to the bottom of what is causing the bleeding. It's so frustrating not knowing.....sure wish our pups could talk to us! http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2013/01/21/anemia-symptoms.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm not sure how to contact his siblings, athough if tomorrow's bone marrow biopsy does not provide results I think I will! His panting absolutely could be due to shortness of breath/lightheadedness, I have no idea if it is due to his anemia or because of pain. I am hoping that the bone marrow tomorrow is the final piece of the puzzle and we can figure out what he has so we can get him started on steroids or pain meds or something... crossing my fingers for something manageable.. thank you everyone for your kind words.. I know many people get frustrated when something is wrong with their animal and you're not getting any answers, but from working in this field and working intimately with many doctors you begin to learn that there is no magic wand to diagnose an animal. there are many cases that dont present as "classic" cases that take months to diagnose- if they even get a diagnosis... Sometimes you dont know until the necropsy when its too late. (morbid, i know). The doctors are doing a fantastic job of trying to get this figured out and have everyone imaginable involved. It helps that I work at the hospital so the doctors are being very open and honest about everything. they want to figure it out as much as I do! Now that good Samaritan is on board we can do the biopsy and the coagulopathy tests and hopefully get to the bottom of it! On another note, my birthday is next week and my boyfriend got me a really sweet present its very shiny and pretty in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greytpups Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hoping for some good news here too. btw I adopted Glo's Destroyer, but not related.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
