Ember update: wbc back to normal
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. Lance

Lance, Thank you for keeping us posted about Ember. It sounds like you are giving her the very best of care. I'm so glad she is better. Love and hugs to you both. elizabeth In a message dated 11/24/06 15:16:02 Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been meaning to write about this for a week now.
