Guest OPointyDog Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Just adding my good wishes. It's bad enough to make these kinds of decisions when you have a diagnosis, but not knowing his horrible. We went through mysterious symptoms and no diagnosis with one of our cats and it was such a heartwrenching decision. My heart goes out to you.

XTRAWLD Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'm sure everyone reading this thread, including me, are just astounded at this story and the constant turn of events. My heart goes out to you and Neko. This is heartbreaking. We all wish he could get better. Sending thoughts and prayers to you all.

Guest greytkidsmom Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have been following you and Neko from the beginning and keep hoping the next test brings you an answer. The coagulation test result sounds like what happens to patients on heparin or bivalrudin. When they are supratherapeutic the PTT results as "unable to detect" meaning that the blood won't clot enough to calculate a value. Have they tried a TEG (thromboelastogram) study? It gives you an idea which part of the coagulation cascade the abnormality is in. The vet hospital may not have it but most human hospitals that do cardiac surgery will have the equipment. Worth a shot. It may at least give you an idea if any blood components would help to boost his clotting and prevent further blood loss while you figure the rest out.

Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I believe that is what we were using. We ran the tests at a human hospital. They said the only other time that they got that error is when there were microclots in the blood sample so we ran multiple samples and every time got the same error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FawnFan Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The OSU to OSU was just a thought. I figured you had already done this yet wanted to throw it out there just in case. I'm sorry they weren't able to help you. Still keeping keeping you and Neko in my thoughts and prayers. As someone else said, I'm sure you will make the right decision for him.

philospher77 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 My heart goes out to you. I can fully understand the dilemma... you don't want him to suffer, and yet, you don't want to let him go only to find out "oh... it just needs this drug and everything is good". I don't have any advice to you except to follow your heart and listen to your dog and what he is telling you. You and Neko are both in my thoughts.

Charlies_Dad Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I cannot believe this. Poor Neko and you, it's just not fair. I don't have any advice and you have done so much to try and find out what's ailing your boy and still no answers. I truly wish there is something that you stumble upon that helps your boy as he is far too young to be so sick.

Guest Nekos_Mommy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Neko is no longer leaking blood from his anus when hes asleep but he still walks hunched and has blood in his diarrhea. I think it hurts to stand up because I tried to get him up at 3am to let him relieve himself and he absolutely was not going to get up. I couldnt get him up this morning until right now. He didnt eat his dinner last night but he ate his breakfast this morning and is now asleep on the couch... waiting for a call...
