Arrival Story:
I wandered onto the farm when I was about 8 weeks old according to the vet's best estimate. I was puny and thirsty when my daddy spied me drinking from the condensation formed by the air conditioner. He immediately gave me some water in a bowl. Then, Mama gave me some hot dogs (because they didn't have any Now Grain Free Senior Weight Management dog food back then). From then on, I was the self-appointed guardian of the porch, yard and goats.
Bio:
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a very serious illness, the summer of 2007. So far under my vet's care and with a prescription of prednisone, my red blood cell count has risen from 20 to 50, (then back down to a normal 40 most recently) and I'm feeling much better.

So my cytology/ culture results came back and everything appeared normal! Yay. Now, if only my fur would grow back faster on my right front leg that was shaved for the bronchoscopy procedure IV. I look like a poodle on the lam from the groomer's.

Daddy brought me home this morning. When Mama drove through the gate. I was chasing a squirrel so intently, she had to honk the horn for me to stop and jump in the back seat. After Mama finished petting and making a fuss over me, she read the four pages or so of info. from Dr. Goldman. I have been diagnosed with brachcephalic syndrome (mild chronic bronchitis/ chronic airway disease) which is kinda weird because I don't appear to be a Boston terrier, bull dog or pug- but I do not remember my biological parents- so who knows? In any case, my condition is manageable- which makes us both very happy and relieved. With my IMHA, we have become surprisingly, increasingly comfortable with manageable/ treatable even when that may not mean curable. Right now, I am having a little nap in the air conditioning while my typist informs my pals of my progress. Many thanks to all my Dogster friends for their encouraging, caring barks and woofs. Special thanks to the Purple Girls, Miss Gussie Finknottle, Chester, Monty, Maggie, Berni, Alfie, Darby and Precious. If my typist has omitted anydog- and she probably has- [good help is so hard to find]- it is all her fault and she will be forced to issue a public apology later. Happy Thursday, all!

Petunia- checking in. I'm staying in the hospital overnight following my procedures but Mama just got some great news! After a bronchoscopy/ radiograph/ chemistry profile among other things, Dr. Goldman of SC Veterinary Specialists in Columbia observed no masses requiring biopsy in my larynx or lungs- just some inflammation/ irritation most likely resulting from allergies which are easily treatable. Cytology/ pathology results are not back yet- but she seemed to think all will be well. Kidney function is fine! Yippee! Power of the Paw is a wonderful thing. Thanks all!
