Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Healing vibes for Tessy

Well, first off I want to say that Sadie is doing remarkably well now. She seems to be getting better with each day. HOWEVER, I'm now back to dealing with something VERY serious with Tessy. I noticed the other day that her mandibular (sp?) lymph nodes were swelled. The next day they were even bigger. It seems to be spreading fairly fast! :( Of course the first thought to mind was lymphoma! I can't afford to have a biopsy ($450) so I have her hopped up on antibiotics in hopes that it may be something infectious. I'm totally lost now with this new problem...kinda like someone just smacked me in the head with a 2X4! We could really use some healing and good luck vibes if you can spare them. The poor little girl. To have faught and beat the terrible AIHA and to now have to deal with this is just... seems like everything is hitting us at the same time! :( Thanks Johnny Tessy & Sadie

Dear Johnny, what can I say..... the good vibes, prayers and positive thoughts are on the way big time!!! After all this is over, and it will be, you can write "the book". Please make sure you also think of yourself. If you get worn out, you can not help the girls. Sending a big hug and best wishes, Brigitte & the poodle boys

Dear Johnny I havent been around here in a while, I get too upset, but ventured in here today only to see your message re Tessy! Im stunned. Poor Tess, its just not fair with all she has been through - here is wishing you and Tess all the very best for the best outcome possible. Both of you have helped so many here, you deserve good things. Silka

Alright, so the swelling hasn't gone down any since being on the antibiotics since Thursday. Tessy is scheduled in for tomorrow morning to have a biopsy done. I'm a little nervous cause this is a new place and they'll have to put her under to do it! Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Johnny Tessy & Sadie

Johnny Just letting you know that you and Tessy will be in our thoughts and prayers, please let us know how it goes. Cheryl & Ginger

Johnny, we had something similar happening to Ripley about a year ago. He got very lethargic, meanwhile I got frantic! His gums are difficult to check, they are black, so we took him to the vet. Like Tessy, his mandibular lymph nodes were swollen. He was put on antibiotics but was worse the next day. They had to keep him and put him on an IV. His whole body got toxic, it was so weird. After being on the IV and antibiotics for 24 hrs. he slowly got better. We suspect, that he swallowed a sliver that got lodged and infected somewhere. The x-ray did not show anything though. For the anesthesia, can you ask if they can giver her one that can be "reversed" after the procedure. This was done to one of my dogs to remove an insured nail. It was amazing, 10 minutes after the second shot, the dog was standing up. I don't know however, if this anesthesia is easier on the body or not. Lets hope it is nothing serious and Tessy is better soon. How is she acting? Best wishes, Brigitte & the poodle boys

Brigitte BC Canada

Hey there Johnny, I, of course, have followed your Sweet Tessy's fight against the beast we all unfortunately know as AIHA. And more recently, your Sweet Sadie. Now this? I am crushed that so much has been thrown at you and your girls. Please know you all remain in my thoughts and prayers. One thing is certain.....your girls have a terrific dad! Good luck tomorrow, will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way.....always! Teresa

Teresa va

Well, I slept about an hour last night! Just got back from dropping Tessy off for her biopsy. Now to play the waiting game.

Johnny

Johnny, when will you get the biopsy results? Paryers from me, Molly, and Jack. Jack now has "special" prayers 'cause' he's at Rainbow Bridge. I think he might have a straight line.........I like to think he's well connected, LOL. Thinking of you and your Gals. M & M

Mary Wright Gainesville

I'm hoping to get the results back today...if not tomorrow! Everyone keep the fingers (& paws) crossed. Tessy could really use some strong thoughts prayers or vibes right about now! I'm having bad feelings about Sadie today also. She's getting weaker and doesn't want to eat now! :( Yeah, it never ends right! If you got them she could also use some thoughts prayers or vibes. Waiting for the vet to open to take her in. I'll keep you all posted on both my ladies. Thanks Johnny Tessy & Sadie

Johnny

Johnny, of course we are always thinking of you and your girls! Try and stay positive. That is really all I can say..... Take care, Brigitte

Johnny, I am so sorry to hear about both Tessy and Sarah. You must be frantic with worry. I am sending you a very long hug today. We went through a somewhat similar thing with Chance in the fall of 2007 after he recovered from non-regenerative anemia. I actually went to the effort to have a lymph node in his back leg removed for biopsy. The lab results were difficult to interpret, but I was able to eventually understand that the description of the cells really meant that he was just suffering his fall allergies (which he had all of his life). Once the season changed to winter, he was fine. But he always had very swollen lymph nodes in the spring and fall all of his life. Since it is nearly fall right now and many of the fall plants that irritate allergies are in full bloom after a warm, wet summer, I am hoping this is the same for Tessy. It would make sense that her immune system remains at high alert and is just more sensitive to this. In either case, if you have any questions about the language on the biopsy report, let me know, I can try to help. Is Sarah on doxy at all? This will definitely decrease appetite. You said just a few days ago she was getting better. Surely this can't be too serious? my best patrice

Patrice NYS

Johnny, Massive amounts of hugs and prayers being sent for both Sadie and Tessy. I hope it all turns out to be something minor. They are very fortunate to have such a dedicated and loving Dad. Penny

Penny Lytle Creek Calif

Just a quick update here. I didn't get Tessy's biopsy results back today...hopefully tomorrow. Sadie was emmitted to the hospital today. I just got back...poor darling. She was having problems standing and even opening her eyes. She puked blood a couple times (ulcer) and pooped fresh blood also today! Yeah...when it rains it pours I guess. Blood tests showed that her crit was 24%...which *would* be where it was last test BUT she was dehydrated so likely it is probably around 15% +/- ...if I had to guess. Her BUN in high (61) but her creat is in normal range. Her lipase was high (5468)as well as her amylase (1903). Didn't I just deal with something like this??? DeJa Vu all over again! Her glucose was also on the low side! Liver enzymes all above normal but not sky high. Blood present in urine sample! The only other number that had me really worried was her platelets...53!!! So yeah...that's where were at right now. Kinda glad we didn't get the biopsy results back cause I don't think I could handle any more bad news! Going in to visit in the morning so I'll know more then. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Johnny Tessy & Sadie

Johnny

Hi there Johnny, I honestly do not know what to say. :( But please know you and your girls remain in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the update. Teresa

Hi Johnny I haven't been on line for a few days and can't believe what I am reading----again. My goodness, you and your girls' luck should surely turn around soon. Just want you to know that we are thinking about you and hope things get much better in the "very near" future!! Keep us updated!! We're sending lots of good vibes and a hug for all of you. Warm wishes from, Maureen and Mercedes

It's a bag of mixed emotions here right now. Trying to mourn the loss of Sadie while at the same time being worried sick for Tessy. The biopsy results STILL aren't in. I'm fearing the worse cause now another node is swelling. :( Patrice...I sure hope it's something as simple as alergies. Don't know if I can handle even more bad news! Thanks for the prayers, thoughts and vibes. You have no idea how much they help and keep me sane when I read them. Johnny Tessy Sadie

Johnny

Dear Johnny Im praying for good news for Tessy and that whatever it is can be easily fixed - what more can you guys go through! Thinking of you Silka

Well, biopsy results are in BUT they can't discuss the results at all over the phone so I have to go tomorrow to *discuss* the results with them. UUGGHH Looks like it may be another sleepless night here! Hoping and praying for good results though.

Johnny

Dear Johnny, Thinking of you. We sincerely hope for the best for darling Tessy. Sam & Millie.

Samantha Geelong Australia

How awful. I have seen a lot of complaints about vets lately and I must say it looks like I am very fortunate to have the vets that I have. As soon as they had results I was called and things explained. Why can it not be discussed on the phone? I rather have news good or bad over the phone than wait an other night. I guess they can't bill you if you don't come in? A bit more compassion is in order with some of these vets..... Lets hope for the best, thinking of you, Brigitte & the poodle boys

Brigitte BC Canada

Johnny, Sending Tessy healthy vibes from the west coast. You both are in our thoughts and prayers tonight. Best of luck tomorrow. Jessi

Jessi Bc

Johnny, I am just shocked that they won't even give you a heads up over the phone. They must have gotten some kind of hint throughout Tessy's ordeal that you do understand what is going on with your dog and if not you will research it thoroughly enough to make intelligent decisions. Are these the same Vets? I am sorry you will have a sleepless night and hope you take some comfort in knowing a lot of people will be praying and sending healing vibes for your sweet girl. Hugs to you and Tessy Penny

Penny Lytle Creek Calif

Johnny, Do you have the results in hand? If so email me and we can go over them together. Don't let this upset you. Histopathology reports can be complex but understanding a few things ahead of time about normal structure and function can help you see the basics of the sample. http://www.fetchdog.com/learn-connect/dog-resource-library/health/oncology/Lymph-Node-and-Other-Lymphoid-Tumors-in-Dogs/D/300600/P/1:5:55:601:6106/I/AR000010557 "Enlarged lymph nodes are not all cancerous. Cancer of the cells of the lymph nodes (lymphoma, lymphosarcoma) has to be distinguished from other causes of lymph node swelling by histopathology. Swelling of the lymph nodes may also be due to increased activity (hyperplasia) caused by generalized or regional infection or other antigenic stimulus. It can also be due to inflammation (lymphadenitis) within the lymph node." http://vet.sagepub.com/content/42/4/468/F1.large.jpg Lymph node; normal dog.

Patrice NYS

Well, diagnosis is....... High Grade Lymphoblastic Lymphoma!!! I'm devastated once again! Especially since this new doctor told me that treating this would be pointless! Just so you all know...we ain't taking this laying down! Tessy's a fighter and we're going to combat this together right to the end! I've got the biopsy results Patrice if you'd like to see them. I'll email them to you. Thanks everyone for the prayers and thoughts. Johnny Tessy Sadie

Johnny

We do appreciate your updates Johnny and realise how stressful things are for you both. I just wish things weren't so bad for you, it isn't fair, you have kept so many people going when things have been tough. Take care and it would be great if Tessy surprised them all again! Sue and Archie

Sue Cambs UK

So sorry that your worst fears were confirmed but I am glad to hear that fighting spirit is still there...and I know you will always do what's best for Tessy and at the moment that is certainly to speak up and fight her corner! So many times people on this forum have proved vets wrong.... I pray in this case you and Tessy do so again! Take care Kathleen and Nollaig

Kathleen North Ayrshire

Yes, email it to me. Did they tell you the main location? That is important. p

Patrice NYS

Johnny, How awful for you!!!! Sometimes when it rains it pours. I'm wishing you a long, long drought. Sending you extra prayers Ronda

Ronda Illinois

Patrice...it's multicentric with the prime location of origin being the mandibular lymph nodes.

Johnny

Johnny, I will continue to keep you and your girl in my thoughts and prayers. I know that you will move mountains to help Tessy if thats what it takes. Penny

Penny Lytle Creek Calif

Hi Johnny, I am sorry the news for Tessie is rather disma,---- but where there is life, there is always "hope"! Perhaps the vets will be proven wrong, and you and Tessie will share better days ahead. It is so unfair, that you and your dogs have had to bear such bad times lately. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Maureen and Mercedes

Maureen BC Canada

Dear Johnny, I am so very sorry. Good for you not to give up. Tessy will tell you when she had enough, but until then, the fight is on! I am sure you will get expert advice form Patrice. Maybe it is even worth it to contact Dr. Dodds? What ever happens be assured we will be thinking of you and hoping Tessy will prove the vets wrong. Best wishes, Brigitte & the poodle boys

Brigitte BC Canada

Johnny I was very sorry to read about Tessy diagnosis and I will be sure to keep you and Tessy in my prayers. We all will be here to help support you through this battle. Please keep us dated on how she is doing.

Cheryl & Ginger Pinevile Pa

I am so sorry to read that you got bad news at the vet on Tessy. :( I can't even imagine what you must be feeling now having just lost Sadie. I hope you will feel the support and love that comes through this community as you fight this latest battle. We're all here for you!!

Jennifer

Johnny, I am devastated to read Tessy's diagnosis. A flood of emotions came over me reading your latest post. I know exactly how terrifying the word cancer is. It is all I can do to hold back the tears. I am so sorry you are now faced with a grim prognosis. A wise person told me, "remember she has no idea how sick she is, or what prognosis the vets have given her". Those words brought me unbelievable strength and calmness. Tessy seems to be a real fighter. There are those dogs that fight like no other, and defy the odds they are given. Toqua wasn't expected to make it out of surgery, let alone the 3.5 months she thrived afterward. She still has time with you. You will decide what you want to / do not want to do for her, and she will thank you for whatever decision you make. You have her best interests at heart. She knows how much you love her, and she will ultimately let you know when enough is enough. Treat every day like the blessing it is - Tessy is here and doing well today. There is no time like now. Do everything with her that you may have been putting off. Buy her all those ice cream cones. I hear dogs LOVE blizzards! :) Take tonnes of pictures. No regrets. And live in the moment, with Tessy. Johnny, I wish things had turned out differently for you and Tessy. It just doesn't seem fair. Wishing you both many more happy memories together. And let's hope she keeps fighting and proves the vets wrong. Thinking of you both, sending our thoughts and prayers, Jessi

Jessi BC

Dear Johnny, I am so very sorry to hear of this setback for Tessy. I know you will fight as hard as you can, and Tessy's a proven fighter.... neither of you will give up, despite what the vet has said. You and Tessy are in our thoughts, I know you have the strength to get through this. Hugs to you and Tessy, Sam & Millie.

Samantha Geelong Australia

Oh dear, oh dear, I did not want to be reading this for you and Tessy, Johnny. Why is it when I come here, the tears just flow? Unbelievable. Im not sure what this diagnosis means, but it sounds serious. Thinking of you and wishing you both the strength to fight on - I would not just believe anyone when they said that, but when YOU say that - hard not to believe it. Prayers and thoughts are with you Johnny and Tessy. Silka & Bonnie - and of course Riley, who you also supported from across the waves. xxxx

Silka Melbourne Australia

I'm a long time lurker, and have lost 2 dogs/litter mates to both IMHA and lymphoma in the past several years so my heart goes out to you. There are some dogs who do very well with chemo and go on to have long remissions. Our boy had "t" cell multi centric (the more aggressive form), and was also diabetic, with treatments he lived another 15 months of quality (which in human years would equal another decade) and handled the chemo w/no problem. I'd speak with an internist or oncologist for a 2nd opinion. There is another forum and is only for those with furbabies who have lymphoma. You must sign up to read but it is a wealth of information and support (as is this one with IMHA). http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/LymphomaHeartDogs/

Johnny, I am so sorry about Tessy.Please look into clinical trials for lymphoma.I know there are current ongoing trials for dogs with lymphoma.(Chloe's original diagnosis).My heart goes out to you and your family of dogs. Cheri and Chloe

Johnny, I just wanted to send you some HUGE hugs from Tiggs and I. I didn't realize you had lost Sadie, I'm so, so sorry. And now to be on another journey with Tessy, you just don't deserve any of this. Hang in there, you and Tessy are a formidable team. We'll be thinking of you and hoping and praying for the best. Love, melissa and tiggs

Just wanna let you all know that Tessy starts chemo tomorrow! We'll be using some fairly big gun drugs with this protocol. I'm paranoid, stressed, worried, and nervous to say the least...especially given Tessy's past with the auto-immune issues. She could use some extra thoughts & prayers if you can spare them. Thanks Johnny & Tessy

Johnny

Johnny, All my prayers for you and Tessy tonight. She deserves it and so do you.

Johnny big hugs for Tessy stay strong. I posted some time ago about a special diet/supplemetns that really helps dogs going thru chemo, I have no experience, but it was in one of my books. I don't remember what book, and I have trouble using the search fundtion here. If you have better luck wiht the search engine and I will try to find the bookthis week-end that has that info in it.

Hi Johnny We are camped at an agility trial about 30 minutes outside of Kamloops this weekend. I am between classes, and have been thinking of you and Tessie, so thought I would fire up the laptop and see how you two are making out. Did the chemo go okay?? Poor Tessie, she surely has had more that her fair share of illness. You have always been there for Mercedes and I, so just wanted you to know you're in our thoughts and prayers! Wish there were something more we could do to help. Please keep us updated. Maureen and Mercedes

Maureen BC Canada

Thanks everyone. Tessy handled her first chemo treatment like the trooper she is!!! No side effects or anything of the sort...knock on wood. ALSO, the swelling in her lymph nodes is going down!!!! YAY I know it's too early to cheer cause she has a long journey ahead of her (and me)...but I'll chalk this one little battle up as a win for us! Oh, and Tessy wants to pass out big sloppy smooches to who ever is willing as a thanks!!! :) Johnny & Tessy

Johnny

Glad to hear Tessy is in the mood to hand out sloppy smoochies! One day at a time and thoughts are always with you guys. Penny

Johnny, I am so happy to hear it all went well and Tessy is yet again putting up a fight. She is not done here! One day at a time and keep thinking positive. I am happy to accept any sloppy kisses from your gal. Thinking of you and your Cocker family, Brigitte & the poodle boys

Jess BC Canada

Thanks everyone for the kind words and prayers. Tessy sends smoochies to you all. Her treatment seems to be going alright so far. She had her second treatment on Friday which was cyclophosphamide. I hate having to drug her up again (she's also on pred daily again (22.5mg)) but I guess it's necesary now! I do have a little bad news....her crit dropped some after the first week and is now at 33%!!! Can anybody say "nerves are shot" LOL. To look at her you'd never think there was anything wrong with her! She acts totally normal and is happy and wants to play ball ALWAYS!!! Her appetite is still there and she'd eat just about anything if given the opportunity! The drop in crit has me really worried though. Keep the thoughts and prayers coming if you can spare them. I think the power of the good vibes and prayers are really helping her (& me)!!! Thank you all again for the thoughts and concerns. Although I've been busy lately I still think of all the dogs here (and the parents) on a daily basis. You'll always be a special part of our family!!! Johnny & Tessy

Johnny

Hang in there Tessy. You can do it. Be strong. Fight with everything you have.

Just a quick update in case anyone is following/wants to know/was wondwering. TEssy goes today for her 4th treatment. This is the one that worries me most (doxorubicin). I'm hoping her crit has went up some since last time. She'll hopefully get a chem and cbc today as well. I'll keep you posted on how she does. Johnny & Tessy

Johnny

Johnny, When you next post about Tessy, could you please start a new thread. This one is getting very long, with 73 posts. Thanks much and big hugs to dear Tessy from me and Maggie. You and your dear gal are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joanne MN

I thought it might have been easier to keep it all in one so that it would keep the board *less swamped* and since it was all relative. I was actually thinking lately that since this isn't AIHA/IMHA related that I wasn't going to update Tessy's status anymore. Thanks, Johnny & Tessy

Johnny

Johnny, when threads get too long they are slow to load sometimes, so that is why I suggested another thread. But if you want to continue to post on this thread that is OK with me. So many on here, including me, care about you and Tessy so please do continue to update us on Tessy's progress.

Hi Johnny, Please do keep us updated on Tessy's progress, we are all praying for her recovery and do need to know how she and you are getting on. Sue

Sue Cambs UK

Hello all. I've been getting lots of messages asking for updates AND the pics I promised so I figured I might as well kill two birds with one stone (I actually wouldn't kill a bird..LOL). Tessy's doing really REALLY well as of late (knock on wood). She just went today for another treatment and so far has had absolutely no problems or adverse effects from the chemo to date. She's a real trooper I must say. Almost 2 years ago she got the AIHA and had finally beat it only to get the lymphoma! Now I'm fairly certain she's gone into remission for this!!! (again...knock on wood) She's on a load of supplements for this and so far so good. It seems to be working! She's got so much energy lately and her zest for life is more than it's EVER been! She just loves to go on her walks now and if she can play ball she will...even in her sleep I'd guess! To look at her you'd never know anything was wrong! She truly is special and unique!!! Anywho, that's the scoop for her....here's some pics that I promised. I hope you enjoy...they are VERY recent. A hike we just went on and she sports her Meisha's bandana proudly each time!!! hehe (Thanks Joanne) http://s978.photobucket.com/albums/ae267/bluemajestic/Tessys%20TV%20Channel/?action=view¤t=b2428017.pbw Thanks for looking.

Hi Johnny, Oh how I love Cocker Spaniels. Tessy is so darn cute. I read that 1/3 of the cases of AIHA are found in Cocker Spaniels. It's so good that our fur babies found us so we can take care of them. Am I crazy that I would like to get another Cocker to keep Gracie company once she gets batter? ( I'm being optimistic) All the best to you and Tessy Gwen and Gracie
