| Week 18 | Off | Had an emergency visit to the vet. Platelet and RBC counts very low . Started Pred and antibiotics. |
| Week 19 | Vincristine | After last weekend. We decided one last try. Still on pred. RBC still very low. Looks to be the end very soon.....  |
| | | Oreo's bone marrow was severly surpressed by the CCNU. His red blood cell count was dangerously low. We did a blood transfusion Apr 15. That helped but his platelet count was very very low. Apr 16th his breathing began to become laboured. We found he was bleeding in his lungs. We tried a plasma infusion, but the morning of the 17th he wasn't any better. Oreo crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge, at 12:30pm, snuggled in between my arms and legs, getting kisses on his head. Thanks to everyone at Veterinary Specialts of Rochester for standing by me during Oreo's passing and thanks to Macedon Veterinary Hospital for the great care Oreo received. Oreo loved you all!! |
