A specialist is an awesome idea, I'd see an internist if it were me, most likely. I so hope some answers are found.
Btw, your Mom is awesome and I hope the owners do realize she literally saved this little one's life by acting so swiftly! |
I honestly do not think the vet really knows what is causing little Cinnamon's issues... I received a message from my mom yesterday that the vet stated they were "Going in the wrong direction", poor little thing had to have another blood transfusion yesterday...
And increased Prednisone, and that is she is successful with the blood transfusion from yesterday, she will need a high dose of steroids for at least 3 months"....
my response was, "Specialist" but I'm going to give her your advice with her owner to seek an Internist. A high dose of steroids for a tiny little Pom worries me, I know what happened with Tink when her steroids were increased, and it was not good. My mom is convinced she has an underlying issue that the past owners knew about, and that is why she ended up at the shelter.
BUT, at least she now has an owner who loves her and is making sure she is treated. Thank you for your suggestions!
