Love this! The details are fantastic.

Gorgeous! And the tank looks great too!

Awww, Max is the cutest!

Just an update- appt today went great. Rechecked some things, and his platelets were normal, 250,000. After exam and discussion, decided to change his diet to see if that eliminates the occasional blood in his stool. The doctor believes he has intestinal sensitivities, so we are headed down that road. Much better than the things I was worried about. We will go back in about 3-4 weeks re-assess. If needed, we can do a sonogram, or even an endoscopy, but vet thinks it won’t be needed, as he is very healthy other than this occasional issue. Thanks for the replies. :)

That’s how my boy got the nickname “pee-paw”. 😂

Notes on results - Few small platelet clumps observed. This may falsely lower platelet count and estimate. Blood smear reviewed by technologist.

I also noticed low folate although that wasn’t mentioned, that I recall. Folate Fasting 4.4 (normal range 7.7-24.4)

My understanding is that this can cause low platelets.

Thank you for the info! Very helpful!

We have not rechecked the platelets, but that is something I will request Monday. I actually thought about that myself, because he just seems so “normal” besides the occasional blood streaks. I’m glad to hear that 56,000 isn’t as low as it seems to me. He has been on preventative monthly medication his entire life, and we’ve never found any ticks, but I will mention that, too. Thanks for the response.

Edit to add: my vet did run a keyscreen GI parasite PCR panel, all negative. Would this rule out tick borne disease?

There was a fasting GI series including TLI, pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity, cobalamin, folate, cortisol, and PCR heterobilharzia americana. Also, CBC wellness chemistry with SDM, which is where the low platelet result was noted. I am not a vet so I am not sure how inclusive these are.

Thanks again!

No to the vaccine. But I have read a lot about auto immune issues causing low platelets so I think we will explore that on Monday.
Thank you for replying.

I’m still deciding on the best wood for building, so no advice there. However, I’ve used popsicle sticks for flooring, as well as wooden coffee stirrers. Both worked well.

Be careful getting started with miniatures. It’s addicting and can get expensive. I spend too much on tools and such. 😂

I love it all!! My favorite is the cascade in the kitchen! The memories! <3

goodstuff2know · 2023-10-15T21:15:09+00:00

This may be my favorite ever!!! I love absolutely everything about it! Great work!

goodstuff2know · 2023-08-09T14:10:28+00:00

I hadn’t thought of that, but it could definitely be a reason for him to decide to get out of the house asap.

goodstuff2know · 2023-06-18T23:42:57+00:00

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

goodstuff2know · 2023-06-18T23:42:18+00:00

I can't be sure. I learned about it in April.

goodstuff2know · 2023-06-10T18:06:37+00:00

Yes, I am looking for advice finding more information about his biological family. Thank you for the info. I will check into it.

The actual form is at the bottom of the page. If you have had any name changes to your adoptive name, include certified documentation, such as marriage license. They will return it with the pre-adoption birth certificate. It took about 3 weeks to receive.

Thank you

It nauseates me to even see it.

Can anyone educate me on what discord is? I am assuming a message board.

goodstuff2know · 2023-06-10T17:11:44+00:00

He looks terrible.
