Tulla Joy and Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia

On Thursday Tulla was rough housing with the other dfogs and slipped--no big deal as dogs do play--BUT on Friday seemed to be pretty sore and stiff like she had hutt her back..Took her to the vet who did lab work and checked her over pretty good...no serious back injusry but a liver value off and a change in her red blood cell values...She has Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia... her red blood cells dropped from 53 to 22 in a coupkle weeks...she was exhausted as she was not getting oxygen to her body...and by Monday they were down to 17...she was given an immune suppressant so her bodies white blood cells could stop killing her red ones, then steriods to build her back up--plus fluidss IV and other meds...The moratility ratei s very high and even if she survives--WHICH SHE WILL--she may be on meds for the rest of her life--it is VERY touch and GO right now. THIS IS A DISEASE POODLES ARE PREDISPOSED FOR GETTING ---SO ALL POODLE OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE! I WILL UPDATE YOU ALL ON THE DISEASE AND TULLA'S PROGRESS LATER--BUT THANK YOU TO MY BOSS WHO WILL ALLOW ME TO BRING HER TO WORK TO HELP KEEP HER SAFE AND COMFORTABLE AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS.
