Ruth, the ladies are right, don’t panic.
Bingo the wretch did exactly the same thing to me in the early days. He went from a PCV of 31, to a week later a reading of …..47!!!! Of course we lowered prednisone and of course just one measly week late, he was back down to 32. We ended up putting the prednisone back up again just in case the 47 had not been a mistake in which case there had been a big drop, but his vet agreed that he thought the results of 47 had probably not been accurate possibly due to dehydration. He went on to say that when they have dogs in hospital on drips, they find that their PCVs always drop because the dogs are kept constantly hydrated.
Waiting on tomorrow’s results.
Love Vally & wretch.
Hi Tara, glad there’s a diagnosis to deal with, at least they now know what they’re fighting. I guess if they are going to test after the 4 weeks to check he’s clear, that should be a safeguard. Someone probably knows more about it.
I’m thrilled your level-headed little devil is doing better though.
Have we seen a photo of Diablo???
Lynda, I too am really pleased you were able to come back. Please know you are always welcome here and, yes, your experience, I’m sure, would help others.
With Mary’s help, I too found Honey’s photos on Consuelo’s facebook page. The one of her flying is amazing. What a girl!!!
As the others have said to have fought so very hard on Honey’s behalf, shows a love which is above and beyond. Honey, I have no doubts, knew that.
Love to you, Consuelo and Dora.

Oh Lauren, Congratulations on that fabulous PCV result.
I’m glad the bruising was checked with an ultra-sound. Your vet sounds really great. Alarms go off when you hear bruising and action needs to be taken quickly in case something is going on inside.
And yes, Rocky is absolutely gorgeous and there is no doubt he’s grinning at his results.
Love Vally & Bingo
Ruth, I’m sorry you’re having such problems with your own health. I’m glad at least that Nula sounds as though she’s feeling a lot better and hopefully that takes some of the stress away. I think the 12.5mg is a much better idea so fingers crossed on her next test. Keep an eye on her gum colour too.
The panting is normal, certainly if it’s warm, so don’t worry too much about that. That will get better as the prednisone continues to lower in dosage.
Now don’t panic if the numbers go down a little bit – 39 is a big jump up from 26. I always seemed to find that after a jump up, they always seem to come down a little bit. I’m sure Bingo always did it on purpose so I’d have as much grey hair as him. I often found too that after an adjustment in predisone, Bingo’s PCV seemed to dip a little but usually went back up the following test. So good luck.
Love Vally & Bingo
