Sadie – Relapse….again.

[Linda]

Hi all. Just an update for today’s PCV (everyday PCV, glad they’re close by!). She is still holding at 22%. I really thought she might have gone up, but we’ll take holding.

Although they said that I could wait a week to do more blood work, I’m going back on Wednesday for another PCV, paranoid fur mom that I am. 😉

Love to all, Linda and Sadie

Of course you’re going back on Wednesday. Relapses give you extra stars in the Paranoid Club.

Sending our best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!

Hi again. Wednesday’s PCV is still 22%. We drew a CBC to send out, back when it’s back. So, here’s the plan – another PCV on Friday – we’re going up. That’s the plan.

I started Soloxine this afternoon. My vets don’t know. Yikes! But those that I know, love and trust recommended I do it. I’ve been teetering all week, as one vet (Blue Pearl) said no, and the other said – hmmmm….don’t think she was really opposed, said she’d leave the decision to me and that we can always the her off, agreeing with the low dose, 0.1 mg.

Sadie’s conventional thyroid tests are normal, even the free T-4. But, I swear, either the cyclosporine kicked in tonight or the Soloxine works REALLY fast, because she sure seems perkier! And then, it may be my imagination and wishful thinking. 😋

The only plans that fail, are those that fail to plan. So, we have a plan. 😍

Love, hugs and positive thoughts, Linda and Sadie

Yes Miss Sadie – you will stick to Mum’s carefully laid plan of an increase. I know you will, you little darling.

Linda – that’s really good to hear – you are not imaging she’s better – you know her too well for that. Cyclosporine AND soloxine are a winning combination. Perky is my favourite word for today. Perky Sadie & Perky Frank – I will sleep better tonight – bet you do too!

Biggest, warmest hugs, doggie kisses & loads of love

22 seems to be a magic number these days:) Frank and Sadie you are Superstars, keep those RBC’s coming!

Hey Linda and Sadie

Yes, it is going to go up Friday. Sadie, do you hear me? Mable says the same. Seriously though, I know you are waiting on an increase, but we’ll still take holding, and perky? Yup, we’ll have that too. There’s so much information in how they present overall, isn’t there? I think Frank has just reiterated this. If she seems better in herself, then that is a great sign.
Keep going Sadie baby, you’re doing so well. Same to Mum, too! Fingers, toes, paws and whiskers crossed for tomorrow.

Loads of love,

the M’s x

Well, Sadie must have heard you all (ya’ll, as said in GA) because she is 28% today!!!! Her CBC, taken Wednesday showed her PCV of 22%, but her white count was coming down and she also showed regeneration (and not hacking those beautiful new baby red blood cells as fast as they were being made!)!!! And to confirm all, the bilirubin count in urine is WAY down. It has to be that 10 day cyclosporine kick-in!!! It just goes to show – we have to give the cyclosporine TIME to work. We also added the Soloxine, small dose, 0.1mg twice a day. Continuing the antibiotics through the 14 days, Baytril and Minocycline. With that, add the prednisone, cyclosporine, protectives – lots of pills!

She is a totally different pup today. So, Frank – come on buddy – let’s do the happy dance!!!! Yeah!!!! Deep breath……wew!!!

Love and hugs, Linda and the plan that is working!!! 😍
