Re: latest on Flavia

2005-06-25 Thread Kerry MacKenzie
Took Flavia for another blood test today, and her count is maintained at 21. So that's a relief, for today at any rate. Have scheduled another bloodwork appointment for Wednesday.  (I have a suspicion that she is still craving litter--she was sniffing it this morning and may have eaten some.)

Wanted to let you all know how Flavia is, but first I apologize for not being able yet to reply to your kind individual emails--thank you so much--it's been a crazy two days. Flavia's hematocrit went from 6 (or 7.5 depending on which reading) to 17 with the transfusion. She had dep and dex t

Flavia update

2005-06-22 Thread Kerry MacKenzie
Dr Dodin called and said the hematocrit came back as 7.5. As I feared, it's nonregenerative anemia. She said we need to see how Flavia does tomorrow morning after the transfusion (she was also in an oxygen tent last time I saw her), and all being "well" will prescribe Depomedrol and Prednison

t's really unfortunate about that other clinic, but at least now you know..  Once again, I'm so glad I have my vets - they aren't open on the weekends, but they are open at 730a with a vet getting there at 8.  Good luck!Kerry MacKenzie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi all I've been up most of night with Flavia. I noticed she wasn't moving much last night, and didn't appear to want to eat. When I tried coaxing her with a treat, she went into the box and ate some litter instead. Not good. Then she defecated outside the box 2 or 3 times. I stayed with her
