Houndtime Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Please check for internal bleeding. Could be spleen or liver. I lost two greys to internal bleeding from the spleen and it started with bruising on the belly.

tbhounds Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Immune medicated Thrombocytopenia ? The steroids work pretty quick-fingers crossed those platelets jump up pretty quickly for you.

buddibear Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 no changes in WBC is AM 3rd day of steroids ( 5-7 days normal for response.) . His rear right leg has swollen more . He took some boiled chicken. When returning to kennel a few fresh spots of blood were on the floor. Only holding on because of the spark in his eyes and vet said yesterday he has 85% chance recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Have you tried contacting your local greyhound rescue group? Maybe they could connect you with a vet who could help at a reduced fee?
