whats the blood picture i mean check for the platelets count if less can be put on steroids. u can tell the owner to keep the animal in a calm and quite space so that it dont get excited

even i had a doubt abt platelet count but cant go for tests unless the animal stabilizes and once animal is ok,owner does not want to go for tests!!so a catch 22 situation...but the gud news is dog came today morning and is fit as a fiddle.

doc platelet counts are needed whether the owner agrees or not, tell the owner to go off. that's our territory. if the pug does not agree will he take responsibility? no instead he'll blame us. so tests are needed. also vitamin K would have been advisable.
