Sano update

[la_belle_laide]

Sano went for his second blood test today to confirm, and they found NO PLATELETS WHATSOEVER. Which means that there are probably some, but few enough that he's in danger of bleeding out. Again, the vet is flummoxed as to why he isn't clinical for this (e.g. bleeding out. No petechiae either.) She also pointed out that it wasn't last March when this happened, but actually Feb. 27th last year. I posited my "steady decline" and she wasn't so sure, but says that we should check over next winter anyway to see if it's a possibility.

So, back on mega-doses of pred, and here we go again with the muscle and bone loss, insane appetite, hair loss, and constant drinking and peeing. He can't walk at the park or the beach, isn't allowed off his leash, isn't allowed any toys or carrots or anything that might make any kind of internal abrasions. Re-check is saturday, but he has to stay in this bubble-wrap for two weeks.

Also, both dogs cost $500 in the last two days. I was going to go and learn to hang from big silk things tomorrow night, but I have no cash, so that's going to have to wait!

Jo-chan is still here with her little Havanese Midna, which is fun. Jo-chan is visiting her Mom at the hospital and Midna is currently on the bed in Gran's room, which is where Jo-chan is sleeping.
