Scully'sMom Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The actual test was $52. I paid $15 for the blood draw and $18 for Express Mail overnight. It was well worth it! Plus I was emailed preliminary and final results adn I was called by the vet twice with recommendations and results. Wow!!! That's amazing! I'd like to add my congratulations to Pepper is doing so much better. What great news to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffys Mom Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Praise God. I think we are a huge Cairn family and we worry about others as we would our own. I am so glad to see Pepper is getting better and we will continue to pray for a healthy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeppersMom Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 We are having the blood work done again next week after he is done with the antibiotics. I trained him last night and excuse the pun but he was very Peppy! I even had him do high jumps and he did just fine. All the swelling from the prednisone is down and he looks great!

kayharley Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I'm so happy for you and Pepper. These Cairns are tough little cookies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramersmom Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 This is WONDERFUL news! I'm so happy for Pepper and the family. Cairns are very strong little guys/gals but it takes responable pet owners to get to the bottom of the illness and get the proper care just like you both did. Hats off to the both of you. Way to go Pepper..........Keep up the jumping!!!! Rhonda,Kramer & Angel Missy "Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog".

PeppersMom Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Our second set of California test results came back and Pepper's platelets are rising on their own. The count is still on the low end, but showing improvement on no prednisone and no azathioprine. He still tests positve for the tick disease and he will for some months. Its stays in the system I guess. He is showing no organ damage from being bombarded with all those drugs. Thanks to all who showed concern to us over this. It goes to show it is always good to get a second opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
