Luvee and I are home for 2 nights. The Dr. wanted her away from other dogs and germs. Her last blood test this morning revealed her to be pancytopenic, her white blood count went down even further. Her Neutrophil count has trended downward the last 3 tests.
So....the Dr. sent us home with some Doxycycline to cover what she suspects could be a tick/vector-borne disease. (My parents live in Dimmit County and on our last visit Luvee could've easily picked up a tick or 2 in spite of the flea/tick prevention she has been on) So the Dr. wanted to proceed with the antibiotic. I will drive Luvee back to Aggieland this Sunday to be there bright and early for her subsequent blood test. If it does not reflect an upward trend in her white blood count and Neutrophils then the next step that afternoon is a bone marrow test. She will have to be sedated for that. Then we have a new ball game. I've attached her instruction sheet.
Thank you again for your continued thoughts and prayers. We are thinking positive!!
