    Dog with low blood platelet count

    Hello Doc. I feel like I need to speak with you today but the soonest time I could book a appointment with you is April 6th. Is there any way to speak to you sooner than that? (I'm willing to pay of course) Rush took 10mg of Pred today, no dose tomorrow and then his last 10mg dose is this...

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    Hello Ginny! Rush is here at home and he is doing well except that his nerve condition appears to be getting slightly worse. I do think that his blood platelet and liver condition has improved but with the nerve condition Rush still can't get up at all and needs major assistance from two people...

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    Would it hurt to continue the Immune Balance supplement from PHANC? Blue Pearl specialist thinks that Rush’s immune system is attacking his platelets so I’m concerned that since I discontinued the Mycophenolate 500mg Immune suppressant that Rush’s platelet count will drop again. The attached...

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    Also, Rush hasn't pooped in 3 days and I'm wondering if its because his liver may not be producing bile possibly. Should I be feeding Rush anything special to help him poop? If he's bound up should he receive a enema? Should I just wait longer to see if he poops? Do you have any recommendations?

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    I just ordered a bunch of supplements from Maria over at PHANC for delivery tomorrow. Dr. Jeff, do you think that the Prednisone, mycophenolate and doxycycline are the cause of his liver problem. Do you agree and do you think its ok to stop all of them or maybe continue phasing out the...

    Not good. Please read my comments that I added in the last couple days including Rush's blood work #'s from yesterday 3/18. I'm guessing that you haven't seen them yet. Thank you!

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    Rush is still doing well although not walking any better. We are giving him 2 weeks to recover and see if his nerve problem improves and he hopefully walks better. At that time the neurologist will re-evaluate. Currently we are feeding Rush 3 times daily a fresh food diet. Each meal consists of...

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    As of this morning 3/6 Rush continues to eat and drink regularly and we take him out every couple hours to urinate which he does on his own with just a little help with supporting his body weight. Also, this morning he had a couple good consistency bowel movements outside at about 8am that...

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    Good morning Dr. Jeff and thank you for taking the time to respond. I received Rush's first blood work he had done at the specialist / hospital on Monday 3/1 and you can view it below. Rush's beam has been great and even now he continues to eat regularly and is going to the bathroom outside with...

    Dog with low blood platelet count

    @Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina, @Dr. Sara My dog Rush, a sweet 12 year old Pitbull, has been hospitalized since Saturday night with a very low blood platelet count which we need to correct before we can treat his neurological condition that is giving him a “dual engine gate and pain in his neck”. Do...
