Quick Gilly Update

[loracs]

She is having clotting problems.  Dobie's have this problem and she was tested for it before surgery, but they think it was such a low level factor in the blood it didn't show up.   Gilly will be in the hospital until tomorrow morning at the least.  She is getting a blood transfusion with extra stuff to help her coagulation factor.  And they're doing chest x-rays and some other stuff.  

Everyone says she is such a sweet dog - which she it.  They had her out with the office staff last night for a while.  She was whining and once she was with people, she stopped.  She's doing her velcro dog bit and leaning on everyone she can, almost knocking one of the techs over because she was kneeling down to pet her when Gilly gave her all 75 lbs of dobie girl.

Off to take dbubley to the doctor now.

Poor girl is scared, but I'm glad to hear they have it under control now. It's good that she has some new friends to help her through.

Drive creafully!

okay, I've read everything and I'm caught up.

sheesh.

so what was her Von Willibrand factor after all?

Misha's is 5, a stinking low number, but she does clot and survived her hysterectomy just fine. so they have other clotting factors as well, it's just scary.

in a few days things will look much better, but right now it is scary and weird.
