I have better news to report tonight!
Pops stabilized overnight after the transfusion. They tested her blood this morning. It was 29 yesterday, they expected it to have dropped a bit this morning, but it was still 29 so that meant the internal bleeding has stopped.
Her platelets are increasing in number, but are not of sufficient quality to clot yet. But the vets think that over the next few days the drugs will now help to improve the quality of the platelets.
The vets are hopeful she has turned the corner.
They said that if levels are still stable tomorrow morning (Saturday) she could come home. We will have to keep keep her very quiet. And she will need another blood test on Monday morning.
Fingers crossed, it looks like she is getting better.
Thank you all SO much for your kind words and vibes. I cannot tell you how much it meant to me and gave me such comfort. We are not out of the woods yet, but we are nearly there, I think.
Thanks again.
