Okay I'm a little relieved. It turns out that it was depomedrol that Brissle was given. I read it takes about 3 days to take effect. Yesterday was a little scary. I made the liver shake and gave some to Brissle yesterday. I think that may have stimulated her to eat a little. This morning, she ate a little bit of tuna. Sally sent me some Transfer Factor that I will try today. It's touch and go for sure. Hopefully the depomedrol will have an effect.
Michelle I think you're right. Some vets just get real defensive when you suggest anything outside of the box. Thanks for forwarding your oncologist's info. That will give me extra ammo should it come up again. I think you might be right also about the adrenalin thing. I've noticed before Brissle acting more affectionate after the vet's and especially after a stressful pilling episode. After giving her Baytril a couple weeks ago for the first time in awhile, she got real affectionate. I was wondering if it was the Baytril kicking in after only a few hours, or if she was coming back to me for forgiveness after the pilling incident.
No, we didn't take an HCT since Brissle's transfusion last Friday. God I hope she doesn't need another transfusion this soon. Where I mentioned that my internist's choices were chemo, transfusions, or steroids, I think I worded that poorly. He was suggesting that if money was an issue, using transfusions (and nothing else) when needed was a possible option.
Thanks for listening. -Kyle
