Hi - hoping someone can give me some insight... our GP vet is out of his depth and was informed by our oncologist to consult him prior to any treatment; but our Oncologist (one of 3 in my province) is not in the office this week because they're moving facilities... cue my panic.

Boone is a neutered 5 year old mastiff x; diagnosed with osteosarcoma Nov. 17th; received 27Gy SRS treatments (9x3) Dec. 12-15; received biphosphinate infusion Dec. 16; started carboplatin (498.9mg IV) on Dec. 28th; 10 days post CBC showed low neutrophils (2.3); adequate platelets (103).  Received second dose of carboplatin (498.9mg IV) on Jan. 18th; CBC that day indicated Grade I neutropenia (2.42); adequate platelets (187).  

Follow up CBC on day 14 post 2nd chemo administration had the following results:

RBC 7.1 5.4 - 8.7 x10E12/L

Hematocrit 0.46 0.38 - 0.57 L/L

Hemoglobin 160 134 - 207 g/L

MCV 64.8 59.0 - 76.0 fL

MCH 22.5 21.9 - 26.1 pg

MCHC 347.8 326.0 - 392.0 g/L

RDW 13.9 10.0 - 19.0

% Reticulocyte 0.2 %

10.0 - 110.0

x10E3/uL

Reticulocytes 14.2

Reticulocyte 24.5 - 31.8 pg

Hemoglobin

26.9

WBC 5.9 4.9 - 17.6 x10E9/L

% Neutrophils 59.8 %

% Lymphocytes 19.8 %

% Monocytes 0.7 %

% Eosinophils 19.5 %

% Basophils 0.2 %

Neutrophils 3.5 2.9 - 12.7 x10E9/L

Lymphocytes 1.2 1.1 - 5.0 x10E9/L

Monocytes 0.0 0.0 - 1.2 x10E9/L

Eosinophils 1.2 0.0 - 1.5 x10E9/L

Basophils 0.0 0.0 - 0.1 x10E9/L

L Platelets 14 143 - 448 x10E9/L

Platelets appear severely

decreased (< 25 x 10E9/L).

Mild platelet clumping observed

NO CLOT

My question is - does he need immediate intervention? Presenting as normal energy/appetite; capillary refill normal; normal gum color; no observed burst vessels in mouth/gums/on belly.

Straight up panic staring at him (and probably confusing him in the process).  Any insight very much appreciated!

Paws crossed that Dr. Pam can offer some insight on this. Glad you posted here.

I wish I could help, but I'm just a vet and am not knowledgeable in this department. But what I can say is: keep calm and hop on! He's looking at you to lead the mood, and so the calmer you are the more he will be too!

I did reply in your other post but this is not an issue and the bone marrow should recover.
