I took Amberleah lou lou to get the blood work done for her adrenals and they sedated her, she bit me twice they had to take it from her neck. I got so dizzy I had to sit down, blood all over. Her blood didn't want to clot up so he gave her Vitamin K. I was driving her home and she was coming out of it and freak me out crying and moving her head everywhere. But we got home I put her on blanket and looked at her her face and body was swelled up and big red hives. She looked bad. Picture Attached after she got shot so went down some so not near as bad. So I put her back in car and 30 min drive she had to get a shot for reaction. The Dr showed me her tube of blood and it suppose to clot and has not and he needs to spin it so he can send it to the University hospital to test her adrenals. Now he is worried about that and what is causing he blood not to clot.
What do you think?
It will be around Friday or Monday to get results. But if Dr cant get to clot he has to call University see what they want him to do.

oh that poor baby. She has been through so much. I'm so sorry.

I know that fish oil can prolong clotting time, but I wouldn't think it would be so severe as to not clot at all in the tube??

Von Willebrands disease is a disorder where a dogs blood doesn't clot properly. It is most often found in dobermans.

I hope they can get to the bottom of her problems. They checked her thyroid, right?

That bloodwork looks good. Nothing jumps out at me. the ones that are a little off (creatinine, etc. are just off a little bit.) She had a WBC that was a little bit high which could indicate an infection. I wouldn't be concerned at any of those numbers at all!

I didn't see a thyroid though. That would be a t3 or t4.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through--Amberleah Lou Lou is such a precious baby. You have been so good to her, too.

these where done back in Nov 2011, I wonder why they didn't check Thyroid. I thought they did, I am calling vet see if they have enough blood to check that too.

 

[EmberLuvu]

Poor Amberleah! HUGS to Ambearleah Lou Lou and you as well miss Theresa!

 

[Huly]

I would email or call Kim and ask if you need to add anything or change anything. Was she allergic to the Vitamin K or the drugs to knock her out?

I sent Kim an e-mail.. Thank you...

NP at all! One thing is the slighest thing you find even personality wise has to be noted. They look at whole body so symptoms, personality, likes dislikes. The slighest things are looked at in holistic.

 

[CHITheresa]

I am so surprised how fast that shot took away her hives, and welts. She was so so bad.

 

[CHITheresa]

So bad news Amberleah lou lou Blood Never clotted and the sample is not good. Yesterday big waste of time and poor Amberleah lou lou went through all that for nothing. My new vet talked for long time with the doctors in University Hospital and they said all the thousands of cases they have never had a dog under 5 years old who had adrenals tumors like think might be her problem. The University hospital Dr Thinks when her Spay was done they didn't get all her ovaries out and I have to take Amberleah to my vet the will put a swab in her vulva and test it see it she still has female hormones still present in few weeks to get her recuperate before going at her again. .
I am so upset still no answers..Have no idea why blood wont clot another issue now. Was it fish oil or something new!!?? They said her spay she had no problem clotting.

 

[Brodysmom]

Wow, that's a mystery. I can't imagine them not getting all the ovarian tissue out although I know it can happen. So sad that you and Amerleah Lou Lou have to continue to go through this. Hopefully you will have answers soon and get her on the road to recovery.

 

[svdreamer]

Poor baby. I sure hope they can figure out what is going on with her. All my prayers for her. *hugs*

 

[Finn]

I have no idea about her health issues, but please know I am thinking about your baby.

 

[pupluv168]

Poor thing! I hope you figure it out soon so she feels better.
