Hi Hope, Yay on the PCV result. That’s almost edging into the normal range again.
The clot. I believe the size of the clot is important because if it’s large enough to block a vein, then that’s where there are problems. It’s possible it is small enough not to raise concerns. But yes, speak to the vet about this and find out if they plan to do anything about it.

There’s that word again – “paranoid”. Well welcome to the “paranoid pet owners club”. As a privileged member, you get cyber hugs each day. Steve, being the subject of the “paranoid pet owner” gets lots of extra gum checks and lots of cuddles.
Bingo used to get his PCV done 3 times a week when first home, then when stable, started twice a week etc.
The pred, I think more than anything, does knock them around a lot. It’s a pretty horrendous drug, but very necessary for now.
Everything crossed for tomorrow.

Hi John and Cristina. I too am sorry you’ve had to find us and I know how worried you both must be. It’s a terrible time and I remember feeling so helpless in the midst of it all.
I know a lot of questions have been asked but it helps to understand what’s going on. Unfortunately, the medicines do take time to kick in and, as others have said, the transfusions are being done to give the drugs time to work. I think it was at least a month before things started to stabilize with Bingo.
If you can list all the medicines, dosages and Clover’s weight. When was the cyclosporine started – this is what turned it around for Bingo I’m pretty sure. Also if you don’t have them, ask for a copy of the blood results and post the information here, or you can use the Urgent Advice at the top and scan in results and they get emailed to some of the people here. Patrice, Sheena and Mary are all very clever and can help you understand what the results are showing.
Everyone here is wonderful. We all know what it’s like to be in the middle of this horrible disease. As Mary said, ask anything, someone here has been through it.
Take care of each other too, it’s a very stressful time.
My very best,

Tamara, you can add some extra meals in there too. Bingo STILL gets (and he has no need for) breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late night supper – that doesn’t include the 2 billion treats he doesn’t need. He just has this amazing inner clock that says it’s time to eat.
Patrice, Sheena and Mary are all brilliant aren’t they.
Love Vally & Bingo.
