We were able to bring Cooper home yesterday afternoon. It is all very scary.
Scary to know that he could have a relapse at any moment, scary that he can’t tell us, scary that his lil body needs to be supported by so many medications and by the responsibility of us.
The Doctors said that it wasn’t Evan’s Syndrome, but he has the immune disorder IMHA.
When we left the hospital yesterday his PCV had dropped, but still holding steady at 25%. It was around 28 for a couple days… it really needs to be in the high 30’s-40’s.
The medications he is on, cause him to drink, eat & pee alllllll of the time. It is really hard on his body. He takes sooo many pills and will have to for as long as he is stable. He runs the risk of throwing a bloodclot, so that scares us all of the time. Is he breathing normal? Or is he breathing weird?
He has to have bloodwork every 3-4 days.
They said that if he relapsed, there were more options…. of course, more transfusions, and more drugs they didn’t try this time.
Right now, he is just not himself. He breathes & pants so hard… (side effects from meds) he can’t play for any longer than 1-2 minutes at a time, and sleeps so much. So sad for a 9 month old puppy. (Although, he did try & steal a turkey sandwich…lolol)
So, we check his gums, eyes, ears, pulse, heartrate, pee & poodie, 24-7, and are nervous nellies & keeping fingers crossed.
Whew… i will keep everyone posted.
thank you for your concern
xoxo
