Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Tessy Blood Results 14/04/09

Tessy was in do do some blood work thismorning and the results were all around pretty good. The reults are as follows:

will compare to last weeks...
WBC 18.1 down from 32
RBC 3.54 up from 3.18
HGB 9.5 up from 8.6
HCT 27.5 up from 25.7
PLT 804 down from 856

MCV 78 down from 81
MCH 26.9 down from 27.1
MCHC 34.5 up from 33.6
RDW 14.4 down from 17.3
MPV...did not register
The sizes are all falling to within normal ranges. Is this a good sign?

These numbers all seem to be going towards normal ranges. I was especially pleased with the WBC. The platelet numbers dropped also...this was something that has been worrying me as of late...a little scared it might have went up.
The HCT went up 2 points....wasn't quite what I was expecting but an increase is an increase. I'll take what I can get. I'm just a little worried that she might level off again like she did last time she was near these HCT numbers and eventually drop. I say this because she was climbing so well last week...almost a point a day. Now it's approximately a quarter of a point a day. I'm not sure what to make of this.

She is running some chem tests for me but I haven't gotten the reults back yet. Just want to make sure everything is staying where it is and not increasing out of proportion. I'll update when these come back.

Johnny,
Happy to see that Tessy's PCV number is going up, slow and stead. I'm not an expert but it appears that her blood parameters are starting to fall into the normal ranges. Way to go Tessy!!!!!!
