UPDATE:
Oliver is at the Metropolitan Veterinary Associates animal hospital in Norristown. They are absolutely amazing!! He has a 24 hr personal nurse and they are snuggling him and loving him. He was NOT poisoned as our vet thought, thank god, but unfortunately he has a spontaneous blood disorder. His platelets were very low before but now his are at zero. His red blood cells have dropped significantly as well. On the plus side his organs are all good and functioning. His heart rate is elevated and thinks it’s because he’s anemic. Throughout the night they’re going to give him a blood transfusion and hope it holds his levels.
Thank you all for your support! Many people who read this will say he’s just a dog but the people who know Oliver know he’s not “just a dog”… everyone loves him and his loving personality! Again thank you for donating and even just sharing. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
I never in my life thought I would have to do this, but our poor little Buddy Boy Oliver is very sick. He threw up three days ago some blood. The vet said he should be fine, but later that night, he was bleeding from his mouth. I took him to the vet the next day, and he was still acting fine. The doctor said she thinks he might have gotten into rat poison (but we don’t have any kind of poison in our house). She did some blood work and said his white blood cells were low, but the test could be wrong. She called back yesterday (Thursday) and said she got the true test results and that a cell count of 10,000 is extremely low, and his was significantly lower than that. She told us to look for red spots and bruising. When I came home from work last night, he was covered in red spots and huge bruising. He was so sad and lethargic. Overnight and this morning, he could barely move. We went back to the vet again… and again she thinks that he was poisoned. She did say the only other thing it could be is an autoimmune disorder, but it came on so suddenly. She referred us to a specialty hospital and that he gets transfusions.
Oliver saved me 7 years ago from a really dark place, I can’t put him down! Oliver is our best buddy, and I don’t know what we would ever do with ourselves if we didn’t try and help him. Like I said, I never ever wanted to make one of these, but I don’t know what else to do. Chief and I don’t have that kind of money.
Thanks, guys!!
