I've been meaning to write about this for a week now. Last Thursday,
Ember went back to the vet for a CBC. She had a low white blood cell
count a month before (3.6 or 3.7). Her wbc was back to low-normal (I
think it was a 5 or 5.1), and her platelets were up. Overall, our vet
was very happy with her bloodwork. She has lost about a half pound of
weight, though the vet said (and I hoped/agreed) that it was because
I'd tinkered with her food to get her supplements in. She weighs 10.5
lbs., and as he put it, "I'm happy with that weight," so if she's not
losing next month, we're in good shape for now.
For those wanting to know, I put Ember on several supplements over
the month between her two CBCs. I started her on VetriScience's
Liquid DMG, using the recommended dose. I also started her on
Transfer Factor Plus Advanced, putting one capsule worth in her food
a day. She has been on interferon alpha, but I forgot to order it
until we were almost out, and the vet somehow didn't order it in
time, so we missed a few doses. She's back on the five on/five off
protocol.
Just an FYI.
