The Energizer Doggy

Just wanted to give you an update on my baby. She is doing much, much better.

When she was so sick a month ago, her platelet count was 39. Two weeks ago it had gotten up to 140. Today...600! Wow!

One of the vet techs at the office also works at the emergency clinic where I took her. He came out and asked to see the "chart for that dog back there" and stood there reading it over and over (quite a feat since her chart is actually more like a novel) then he said "that's a great little dog". He came over an said he was at the clinic the day I brought her in and that he was just so amazed to see her at all, let alone so healthy. He said they were all pulling for her but "just knew" she didn't have a chance. Ha - I guess she showed them  

Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers - she needed them, and they helped.

I'm quite happy for you, but now I have the pooch problem. My dog Vincent will not eat (food, cookies or people food) and is lethargic. The vet said it was important enough that he needs to be seen today and we have an appointment at 7..... I'm very nervous. Your story though makes me hopeful!
