Amy,
It sounds like you have it under control and are doing the best you can, with
your vet's and Belinda's wonderful help! Wolfie is VERY lucky to have you
looking out for him. I bet you see great results with the doxy since his test
came up positive for the hemobart (but I think it takes a week or two to
work). Please keep us posted on Wolfie!
:)

He had a blood draw on July 2nd. We did hemobart, CBC, and a thyroid panel.
We started him on pred Thursday evening when we got the hemobart results and we
started him on doxy and Pet-Tinic yesterday. I'll check into getting Nutrived,
thanks! Good idea about the ear tip to check the HCT. We don't want to do the
full draw for a couple weeks because I guess the full panel really does take a
lot of blood so we want to see how he responds to this before doing a large
draw.
I don't know what the HCT is right now but he's not acting any different where
I suspect it's decreasing rapidly. I didn't want to keep taking him and
checking it if his symptoms aren't changing because my vet is 45 minutes away
and I thought the stress wouldn't be great for him. Do you think I should be
constantly checking it even if he's not acting lethargic or anemic?

PS. How long has he been on the
Pet Tinic and how long has he been getting the pred and
doxy? When was the last time he had a blood
draw? On the last draw is that when his HCT was
29%? They can always take a tiny bit of blood from the
ear tip to check the HCT and if it is OK then do the full
draw.
