Arrival Story:
My mom brought me a puppy (Hershey) for my birthday. We already had two and didn't think we needed another so I called our friends B and E and they came over and fell in love with him. They were going on vacation in two days and ask us if we would keep him till they got back. In that weeks time we fell in love with him but he wasn't ours anymore. I called my mom to ask her if there were any other puppies left from the litter. That weekend she brought three more, two black and one chocolate. I took the chocolate (Fancy) another friend took a black one (Frasier) and the third (Lady) went to a person I worked with. We see Hersh and Fraiser all the time, Don't know what happened to Lady.

Bio:
Evans Syndrome (ES) is a combination of two conditions, one being Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) and the other being Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia ((ITP). The immune system, normally the defense against foreign invaders, becomes defective and begins to attack the bodys own cells. In AIHA, it destroys the red blood cells which normally carry the all important oxygen through the body. ITP is a blood disease in which the platelets are destroyed by the dogs immune system. Platelets control the clotting capability of the blood and when they get too low, the dog, in the worst case scenario, can bleed to death. ES is a serious autoimmune condition that needs to be dealt with promptly and aggressively. __________________________________ _________ Fancys problems began In May 2005 shortly after her Sixth birthday. She refused to eat one morning which was not like her at all, she had always been a good eater. Later that after noon we were packing up to go camping and she was not at all interested she was lethargic, and had trouble rising from her bed. Fancy was normally an active girl and something was definitely wrong. When I let her outside I noted that her stool was a brilliant orange in color, not normal. Her gums were pale with no pink evident. Our vet was closed at the time so we called another vet who a family member recommended, they told us to bring her in right away. When we walked in I could see the concern in their faces . They wanted to keep her over night and start IVs. we were told to go on our trip ( we was only going to be 40 mins away) and they would call us in the morning with the results. He took blood and the tests came back the next morning. Red blood cells were very low at 2.28 (normal is 5.5-8.5). Platelets were down to 55 (normal is 164-510). We came in from our trip to spend some time with Fancy. she was in a kennel with blankets and had 2 IVs hooked to her. She could barely raise her head and I sat down next to her and started stroking her she was a very sick girl. They had started Fancy on Prednisonne, 80 mgs a day with Blood being drawn every 5 days but after 4 weeks her number were not improving. We were sent to a specialist who started fancy on the drug imuran 100mg a day and thats when it was discovered fancy also had Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia ((ITP). Her blood numbers showed some improvement immediately, but it was to be over eight months before they moved into the normal range. By then, the goal was to reduce the drugs, which can have harmful side effects, as much as possible while keeping the red blood cells and platelets in the normal range. It was a delicate balancing act which required constant blood work. At first, she had twice weekly blood tests and as she got better those tests stretched to weekly and then twice a month. Fancys march toward renewed health was not a smooth one. she developed side effects from the prescribed drugs. She was constantly panting and needed to frequently urinate. She had diarrhea from an overgrowth of bacteria in her intestinal tract which we treated with antibiotics. We began to home cook all of her food. After months on Prednisonne, she developed an ulcer and began vomiting. She became dehydrated and was placed on IVs this time, we were able to ease off the Pred and support her with medicines which protected her tummy. After almost 3 years she was doing very well she was cut to 5mg of Prednisonne twice week and 5mg of Imuran twice a week. In January of 2008 Fancy was getting Blood Tests (CBC) about every 6 weeks. Her counts were staying in the normal range and had been there for 18 weeks now. The specialist called and said to ahead and take Fancy off the pred she was only taking a ¼ of a 10mg tablet everyday. March 2008 Fancy had blood work and a following phone call saying everything looks Great !! April 2008 , unexpectedly, she relapsed with AIHA again. I had noticed she didnt eat her food that morning and was panting and lethargic. I looked at her gums and knew exactly what was going on it was 9pm I called the office to page the vet and she met us there. The gave her cortisone iv and drew blood that would be sent out the next morning and she was put back on 80mg of pred and 100mg of imuran a day. A call the next day confirmed she what we already knew. We immediately ceased all vaccinations and flea meds and administered only the drugs needed to combat her diseases. Because her stomach and intestinal tract became sensitive, We again home cooked all of her food. We observed her closely for any signs of change in eating habits, pottying, energy levels, etc. These routines continue today. Today December 2008 Fancy is doing well she is currently taking 5mgs of pred 3x week and 5mgs of imuran 2x a week. Her last 2 blood draws came back excellent and her muscles in her back legs are getting strong ( a side effect of the pred, loss of muscle mass) Fancy is no invalid these days. Despite adversity, she has returned to her former outer beauty while always retaining the courage, bravery, and determination to live. In the course of her illness, she has taught me patience, strength, and the capacity to appreciate each day as it comes. If anything, her health problems have brought us closer and our hearts continue to beat as one! There are no guarantees of good health with AIHA & IPT dogs and we may face relapse again, but I have come to believe in miracles for my Fancy is, indeed, a living, barking miracle!

Happy Birthday Fancy

We still miss you, our hearts still hurt like you left us yesterday.
I know in my heart that you are at the bridge laying under a tree just watching everything going on. that's what you like to do best. I bet if the angel puppies get in a little scuffle you do your motherly thing and break it up and tell them to play nice. I am positive you are friends with everyone because thats how you were here on earth, you didn't know a stranger. Fancy, Take care of the new one who come to the bridge and keep an eye on the abused ones they will need special care. Until we meet again you are always in my heart!!

Love
Mom

 

Where Have You Gone?

I looked down and you were gone.
Was it the tennis ball I had thrown?
Was it a rabbit or squirrel needed chasin'?
Or maybe a shady spot just for lazin'.
I looked down and you were gone.
Have the kids taken you out for a walk?
Are the neighbors at the fence for a talk?
My heart is sad, my face is long;
I looked down and you were gone.

 

You are always in the stars

In one of those stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night. And when your sorrow is comforted you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend…I shall not leave you.”


Stars in the sky
