I am still waiting on the husbandry consultation. She is working on it as we speak but typically requires a few days for a thorough examination and recommendations. We will get you this information in discharge as soon as they are available.*
I wanted to send you the tentative medical aspect of Jasmine's discharges (see below), while we wait on this. When this is complete, I will email a PDF of the completed discharge summary.
I also wanted to discuss her bloodwork results:*
Her overall white blood cell count was low, especially compared to her most recent bloodwork. This makes me concerned that she is immunocompromised - I do not know why at this point in time, because additional diagnostics would be needed for this. Even though there are no signs of active infection, I would like to keep her on the antibiotic in order to prevent any infections from forming - we can have her back for a recheck visit and repeated antibiotic injection in about 9 days for this.*Her overall red blood cell count is low, called anemia. It is very mild, but progressive from her last bloodwork. This can also be seen if she is immunocompromised if her body is not producing enough red blood cells to replenish its normal supply. I would like to recheck this value in about a week, with her next antibiotic injection.*Her liver value (AST) was slightly elevated, however this value gets released from muscle damage after about 12 hours. With the amount of restraint required for x-rays yesterday, I feel very confident that this is secondary to obtaining the x-rays. This is backed up with the fact that her muscle value (CK) is very high as well.*
Please let me know if you have any questions. I will be in the office tomorrow afternoon to answer any questions and update you with the husbandry recommendations.*
