Amy, It sounds like you have it under control and are doing the best you can, with your vet's and Belinda's wonderful help! Wolfie is VERY lucky to have you looking out for him. I bet you see great results with the doxy since his test came up positive for the hemobart (but I think it takes a week or two to work). Please keep us posted on Wolfie!

We did hemobart, CBC, and a thyroid panel. We started him on pred Thursday evening when we got the hemobart results and we started him on doxy and Pet-Tinic yesterday. I'll check into getting Nutrived, thanks! Good idea about the ear tip to check the HCT. We don't want to do the full draw for a couple weeks because I guess the full panel really does take a lot of blood so we want to see how he responds to this before doing a large draw. I don't know what the HCT is right now but he's not acting any different where I suspect it's decreasing rapidly. I didn't want to keep taking him and checking it if his symptoms aren't changing because my vet is 45 minutes away and I thought the stress wouldn't be great for him. Do you think I should be constantly checking it even if he's not acting lethargic or anemic?
