This is our sweet Molly.
Molly is recovering from a scary few months.
While boarding with us at Christmas, we noticed significant blood in her urine and rushed her to the vet. A raging UTI was suspected, but when Molly’s mom and dad got her home, they also noticed some severe bruising on her belly.
A trip to Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital revealed that Molly had a rare condition called Thrombocytopenia. Her platelet count was drastically low and her life was in danger. As the days and hours passed, Molly’s fragile condition kept her in a state on the edge of life and death.
Steroids seemed to help her platelet count, but within a month of treatment, they induced Diabetes, and her weight had dropped significantly. Poor girl! Allison & Charlie (Mom & Dad) spent hours a day testing her blood, and treating her Diabetes, and with each day she continued to get stronger.
We got an invite to visit her at home in Bastrop and we jumped at the chance to say hello and give her some love. Thinner than normal and definitely less energy than we’re used to seeing, Molly still greeted us with a bark and lots of tail wagging. We all sat on the floor and tossed the ball to her, giving her time to lounge in between rolling the ball back and forth. Her spirits are good, her symptoms are improving, and it looks like Molly will be getting a second chance at life. We couldn’t be happier to hear the news and see her in person.
Allison has been sending the staff and her friends and family regular email updates, which we have coined “Molly Mail.” We look forward to more good news and hope to see her out at DogBoy’s again when she’s stronger. Love you, Molly girl!
