    4/2/10--    RBC  2.97 Million         WBC 5.24 thousand          PLATELETS 97 thousand

    4/22/10    RBC  5.5 Million           WBC  7.24 thousand          PLATELETS 345 thousand

    4/02/10: Toby was presented for examination of a markedly distended abdomen. Radiographs confirmed our suspicion of a spleen tumor. Toby was in a very debilitated condition with significant muscle wasting and difficulty breathing due the size of the abdominal mass. 

    ​

    Therapy:

    Veterinary Immune Tabs were started 04/02/10. The therapy goals were to: 
    1) Improve the red cell and platelet counts
     2) Enhance the immune response in a highly stressed patient
     3) Potentially shrink or slow tumor growth
     4) Support post-surgical healing.

    4/22/10:  In less than 2 weeks pre-surgical blood work revealed an amazing improvement in the cell counts. An 11 pound spleen mass (33% of total body weight) was successfully removed. Biopsies confirmed a malignant hemangiosarcoma. 

    6/27/10: Toby is flourishing and has gained back 8 pounds. Post-surgical healing was completely uneventful. His owners are extremely happy and will continue his Veterinary Immune Tabs for preventative purposes.

    Update: 

    Toby survived another 18 months without post-surgical chemotherapy when she succumbed to congestive heart failure.
