Tinkerbell is at the vet... Too much going on here. I thought Tink had been poisoned... Two other dogs in the neighborhood have come down with mysterious illnesses within the last 3 weeks. She was fine yesterday morning, then around noon I gave her hw/flea stuff. By 3pm she was lethargic and not acting right. I checked her gums, they were white. Called DH and got her to the vet. Tinkerbell had trouble even walking and was going into shock... Very critical. Her tummy filled with fluid, vet did an X-ray and drew some fluid out of her abdomen, turned out not to be blood. Opted to do some in-house blood work... RBCs< Platelets< Hematocrit< All very low. Vet wanted to do a blood transfusion and keep her overnight, he already had her on IV fluids. We left her there not even sure she would make it through the night. The vet called first thing this morning... Tink is doing better. He thinks she has Evan's Syndrome. Basically an autoimmune disease that destroys red blood cells and causes anemia. She'll be there at least 2 days. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.... |
so sorry to hear that. i hope your baby gets better soon |
Oh my, that sounds very scary. So sorry to hear about this! I hope that the vets are able to treat her somehow and that she will recover. Keeping her in my thoughts. |
How scary. Glad she is doing better. Could it have been what you gave her for heartworms and fleas? |
So sorry to hear this, keeping little Tink in my prayers. |
Thanks for all your good wishes. She may need another transfusion today, but if all goes well, she may come home tomorrow night... Fingers and paws crossed. Quote:

Glad your baby is doing much better. I pray she recovers fast and can come home. Susan |
How scary and awful, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine facing this while I know the loss of your sweet sapphire is still very fresh. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet baby right now. |
My oldest baby has Auotimmune hemolytic anemia as well. Monster of a disease and im sure similar to evans as it destroys red blood cells as well. Wishing you the best. |
OH NO ! Kathy, what the heck is going on ??? Prayers for my big girlfriend & Prayers for my little girlfriend & sending more Huge Hugs for you both. |

Oh dear! Just saw this. KJC my heart goes out to you. Was glad to hear of some improvement but will pray for more! |
Sending all kinds of love and good healing thoughts your way, my friend :love:! |
Tink is home! We got the call to pick her up last night... I had to stop at Walmart to grab some t shirts for her as they gave her a schnauzer cut. They didn't have any doggie clothes anywhere so I got her some onesies from the baby department. Just got back from our short walk. She's not 100%, but she's eating, drinking and eliminating well. She wanted to walk farther but we have to take it slow for a bit. Recheck blood work on Monday. My vet went on vacation, so when he returns I'll have a list of questions for him. |
Aww.. yay! So happy to hear Tinkerbell is better and back home! Hope all the bloodwork results are good next week. :) |
