Sadie – Relapse….again.

[admin]

Hello Mr. Jones. I am so sorry to hear about Teddy. It sounds like you have been through it. You are welcome to join us here and glad you found our forum, although sorry for the reason for your search. Maybe we can start a new post for you and Teddy. I really would like to see more information regarding his blood work numbers, particularly his hematocrit (PCV) upon diagnosis.

Warmest regards, Linda and Sadie

Hi Mr Jones

We would love you to join us – it’s absolutely certain that some antibiotics trigger this disease. Their withdrawal, plus appropriate immuno-suppressants can reverse the anaemia. I’m really sorry to hear this has happened. We do have a “work i n progress” list of drugs that can cause AIHA/IMHA or bone marrow failure in dogs, cats, humans
https://www.secondchanceaihadogs.com/AIHA_Terms/drugsantibiotics-can-trigger-aiha/
It will never be complete as new drugs arrive on the market continually – it’s also difficult to quantify the risk level.

I hope Teddy is doing better. I am starting a new topic for you so that Linda is able to get the direct support she needs from us at the moment. I hope you’ll understand why I’ve done that.

Kind regards, Sheena

Hi Linda

I’m sorry to type and run, but just quickly checking in on you and Sadie and am glad to know she is feeling a bit better. Poor little girl, please give her a big cuddle from me and her feline friend in the UK. We just know she is going to beat this.

Loads of love

Me again, I was planning on posting last night a question about the safety of spraying my yard with a pesticide to kill the nasty mosquitos. I read your post that mentioned your family uses chemicals on their lawns and it may have been a trigger. I just want to thank you because it answered my question that NO it is absolutely not worth the risk (for me anyway).

Hi everyone – to all our dear friends

Linda has asked me to give you an update on Sadie who was taken to the emergency animal hospital last night. She has had to have a transfusion because her PCV kept dropping & she is tolerating it well. She is producing reticulocytes (baby red cells) but they are being destroyed, so we are all crossing fingers etc for the drugs to start kicking in, so that she stops killing them off & her PCV will start to rise. Sadie is on anti-clotting medications, tummy protector, prednisone & I believe they will be re-starting the cyclosporine. We have also discussed the possibility of dexamethasone.

Please could you all join me in sending Linda & Sadie loads of love & supporting hugs. Linda does so much to help other people – she has a heart of gold – now it’s our turn to help her through this. Sadie is a real fighter & we are all willing her to get better quickly.

Much love to ALL of you & your pups/kittens/pets/family
We are all in this together through coping with this evil disease.

Linda, I’m sorry Sadie is going through this again! You must be worried sick. She is such a fighter, I know she will come through this. Please know we will be praying for you and her and that you are in our thoughts!!! You have done so much for us through this forum, I wish there was something I could do for you.
Stay strong!
Love
Jen & Mags
