My Julz is going through similiar sounding medical issues. I assume your vet is doing a PLI test to determine the pancreatitis? 0-200 is teh norm, Julz was 337 on Monday. As for teh connection w/ low Hemo???? Because, looking at her CBC report as i type the range indicates 12.1-20.3 and her's wwas 9.3 (LOW) so with that being said it;s sounds possible. But we also learned she anemic (sp) too, REgenerative at that.
I hope things turn out ok for you at your furbaby.
I jsut started SQ today so i hope that helps and get julz back to wanting to eat *fingers crossed*

We will then probably blame it on platelets clumping together. If the numbers don't normalize I don't know what the vet is thinking is next and I don't think I want to... I mean, if it is immune mediated, the most prevalent treatment is steroids. Well, Ellie can't
be on steroids because of her liver. The last resort would be a spleenectomy and that may not even work. Low platelets can also mean a tumor. I don't know what to think. The low platelets may be connected to the extended bleed time and then we really would have a problem... I am seeing platelets and pancreatitis connected on Google. Anyone know if pancreatitis can lower them?
Now with her not feeling well I am all the more concerned. |
