A Littermate Letter

[Shelby and Kev]

Today I received a letter in the mail from one of Shelbys littermates in Houston Texas.  The excitement was overwhelming.   The terms were Bittersweet.  The information was to tell us about the Extremely close call Duffy had!  The letter was titled 'Primor.'  Duffy developed and allergy in January this year.  He was put on a broad spectrum antibiotic also used for bacterial infections. 

Within days he developed bruises all over his body with with bleeding from the nose.  His blood count, red and white blood platelets were dropping quickly.  Rushed to Gulf Coast Vet Specialist in Houston Texas where he spent the better part of two weeks.

Duffy was diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia. 

A Sulfa Drug was used to treat Duffy, which nearly cost him his life, so BEWARE! 

Passed on by Duffy and his Family,  DO RESEARCH, save a life!

Thanks for sharing, I do hope the littermate recovers. So sad. It's wonderful for them to share that with you though.
