Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Trixie update 16/02

The results came through today, Natasha from Bristol Hospital called me this morning. Apparently Trixie's PCV is down from 31% to 27.8%, she asked me how she seems in herself. When I said she seems to be ok, quite responsive, waggy tailed and happy to go out on short walks, Natasha said even though she has dropped a little, the fact that she is pretty up-beat is a good sign. She would like to reduce the Pred a little but wants to wait til Monday and consult with a senior vet about this.
The bald patch that was quite weepy a week ago, seems to be clearing up, with no more signs of weeping. No doubt the antibiotics are helping with this.
I am a little concerned by the PCV drop, perhaps this is normal. Natasha did say she is still regenerating new cells, so that's a good thing.

Tricia,
While you always hate to see the numbers drop, I would hold on to the good side and hope it is just a bump in this long road. Glad her patch is clearing uo and that she is waggy and responsive.
