Well Miss Alexis had a vet visit this morning for a blood count check and her numbers are going down again. It went down a full point, at our last visit it was down just a few tenths. So Dr. Marlow is upping her to the full dosage of Prednisone for her body weight and we'll hope that can stop her immune system from destroying her blood. She feels great, the Pred will do that, so if this doesn't help I think we are going to have some difficult decisions to make.
She's 13 1/2 years old, she's had a GREAT life, and I don't want her to be hanging on if she's just lying there unresponsive. I wouldn't want that for myself so I won't do that to my "child." Right now she's still able to get up and move around, she plays with toys, and is a happy whippet, but if she starts going downhill I just hope I will have the strength to let go.
