    Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) / Jackson

    Jackson had a new ultrasound done on his spleen yesterday. They found a growth 2-3 inches in size on the tail of the spleen. When looking back at the ultrasound from 4 weeks ago - the vet said this growth is not visible. In that original ultrasound, there was a 2 mm spot on a different part of...

    Hi Jeff, I have attached Jackson's most recent blood work. They also drew more blood today to check him again. His platelet levels are back to normal so they are rapidly weaning Jackson off prednisone. The vet is worried their testing equipment gave faulty results the weekend they first saw...

    Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) / Jackson

    Hi Jeff, Thank you for your thoughts. Any chance she could work with you directly on Jackson's case going forward? Also - Jackson was carefully examined by two vets at Veterinary Specialists (he was there for one night and a full day). Would that qualify as a full evaluation? Also - he is going...

    Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) / Jackson

    Hi Jeff, She wants a strategy to reduce his dependency on drugs - particularly prednisone - and wants your thoughts on the small nodules and whether Jackson should be neutered. Also - the vet called to say his PCR test came back. He does not have an active tick infection of any kind right now...

    Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) / Jackson

    Here is a bit more from my daughter on the drugs Jackson was given by the emergency vet: "He's on a few for settling his stomach too. and an antibiotic for the tick born diseases. The only one that will continue is the Prednisone and that will likely only be 6 months or so. Maropitant...
