Prayers going out for you and your baby.:animal-pa

It is so nice to keep coming back to this thread and see all the continued words of encouragment. Thank you!

When I went to pick Sebastian up from the vet (to take him to the ER for the night) I found out that during his second blood transfusion he started having an irregular heart rate so they had to stop the transfusion. When I got him to the ER they finished the blood transfusion and he was fine. However I was a little discouraged because when they took his red blood count it only went from 16,00 to 17,000. They are really hoping that he stays stable at 16,000 through the night and that by tomorrow the zinc will have worked out of his system enough for his red blood cells to start building back up or at least to stabilize and stop depleting. His blood is still not coagulating properly, but it hasn't gotten worse at least. They will watch him tonight and hopefully he won't need another blood transfusion and hopefully he makes it through the night. They will redo his bloodwork at around 1am to check his levels. If he's not stabilized by morning we will be going under the care of the internal medicine specialist.

I'm really, really tired so this is all I can think to update right now. I hope it somewhat made sense. He just looks so pitiful it breaks my heart to see him like this. And, I hate that I can't be there with him all the time. It's only been 36 hours since he was hospitalized but it feels like an eternity :(

I've always been afraid of my babies swallowing a penny, but I had no idea!
Hang in there; you have all of us praying for you. And try to get some rest.

I never thought a puppy would swallow a coin even. You gave me a heads up. Thanks ...

sending prayers and love.

I hate to hear the transfusions don't seem to be doing the trick w/ his blood, but I am happy to hear that he is wanting to eat. Sounds like he is a fighter, has a good vet, and a very good and worried mommy.
Again I am praying for you. :hands:

Think positive.Hope he does well through the night and you will have better news in the morning.

Poor little baby. I'm sure he wants to get better soon so he can come home to his mommy. Prayers on their way from us for a big turn around tonite and continued improvement. ((Hugs))

I did not know that a penny could be this dangerous. I am so sorry to be reading all this. You and your baby are certainly in my prayers. :hands: :getwell:
