The blood test came back and Gary is not overproducing
blood cells from her marrow, which I guess was the
worst possible scenario.
The vet said we can either a) do a blood transfusion
and start tetracycline and hope for the best (even tho
we don't think her anemia is bacterial caused) or b)
PTS.
I told my b/f to call her back and ask about the
Dexamethasone. That shounds like a better option than
the tetracycline, to me.
It sounds like we may just have her through the
weekend. We won't continue to treat her aggressively
(chemo, etc) if she isn't doing well - we, personally,
value quality of life over quantity and don't want to
make her more uncomfortable for her last few days.
Plus, the vet says the blood work doesn't show her
anemia is due to lymphoma anyway.
This is really sad for us but I guess we were
expecting it. We had just hoped it was later rather
than sooner.
