Update on Sano!

[la_belle_laide]

Sano has platelets again! YAY! He's up to 115K which is a huge improvement. Normal starts at 165K. Sano had about 10K last week - if even that, because that's an estimate; they couldn't even find one on the slide. BUT, he still has to stay on the prednisone for another few months. You can't just yank him off of it otherwise he could get adrenal problems. Pred is such a double edged sword. So - good news! But still crummy that he's got to be on pred, because it destroys his liver/muscles/bones.

Yay, great news! :) But yeah, I know how it is with prednison... Our dog was on it for almost his entire life and I think that towards the end it did more harm than good. Then again, his life would have been significantly shorter without it, so I guess the positives still win :)

Exactly. I have such a love-hate relationship with pred.

Woot! Hopefully he can get off it soon but overall glad he's feeling better!
