Right now, my 16 year old baby has a large tumor in his tummy. They wouldn't perform surgery today at the emergency vet's because he was "stable." So, I just have to hope he stays stable until I can get him into another vet's tomorrow. Anyone happen to know how to keep red blood count up (without transfusions?)?

Aww, poor baby. I hope he stays stable and the surgery goes well.

Good luck...he looks adorable. I wish you both the best!

Sorry to hear this, it sounds like your baby will be fine for another day at least until you can get it back. Good luck with everything.

How precious!

Best thoughts for him.

According to the internets, red blood counts that are unusual due to disease can not be treated through any nutritional means.

I know they use Iron pills for humans, maybe it's worth looking up for a supplement for animals.

Sorry about your dog, he's such a cute boy. Good luck with the surgery, I'm sure he'll be fine until tomorrow.

What a little sweetie! Best of luck and let us know how he does tomorrow.

Nice puppy...hope it all works out.

Have you been aware of the tumor for some time?
