I went to visit Franklin in the hospital this morning. All I can say is
WOW. He was his usual wiggly, kissy, silly self, and happy to see me
(and his blue ball!). I spent about 20 minutes with him and was told
that surgery is ON HOLD for now, since he's improved so much!

What a whirlwind of emotion. I have to wait until my vet gets in at
noon and calls, but they are amazed at the improvement (and his RBC is
going up) and they aren't going to cut with him doing this well.

I'm thinking that the power of prayer has done a lot here, and please,
whatever you're doing, keep doing it. I was thrilled to see my boy
being himself (not to mention eating and drinking without vomiting) and
am feeling SO much more hopeful than I was last night and even this
morning.

Will do!

Well done, Franklin!

Is it possible that his RBC was low for some other, less serious
reason, and that the diagnosis was incorrect?

Yes. I'm hoping that's the case (as are the vets)!

I've learned something today, Kyle...

Here's hoping that Mr. Franklin has something else entirely that is
notnotnot as serious as AHA. Fingers and toes crossed!

Perhaps it was a missed diagnosis? Or a remission?

Has Franklin had any vaccinations of late? Any chronic illness?

He had his RV on 8/14. No illness other than the vomiting the last few
days. Chicken and egg?

I don't really know, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss it as a possible
contributor to all of this. Rabies vaccinations have long been known
to be capable of triggering autoimmune reactions.

So, as far as you know, Franklin suffers from no chronic (continuing,
recurring, etc.) disease?

Not that we know of, but the big "C" is always looming. He had a tumor
removed last year that was "epiltheliotropic (sp?) lymphoma" No
recurrence that we've found.

I was thinking more along the lines of something like hypothyroidism,
but cancer is always a possibility, unfortunately.

Did he undergo any post-op treatment? Radiation or chemo?
