Dog w Cancer in Pelvis, Low Blood Cell Count

I'm sorry to hear that your dog is going through such a difficult time. Cancer in the pelvis can be quite challenging, and a low blood cell count adds another layer of concern. Low blood cell count, or anemia, could be due to the cancer itself, or it might be a side effect of treatments like chemotherapy. Your dog might feel more tired than usual or seem weak, which is common with anemia.



At home, make sure your dog is in a comfortable and quiet environment and offer nutritious food that’s easy to digest. Small, frequent meals may be more appetizing if full meals are tough for them to get through. Ensuring they have easy access to fresh water is crucial too.



Keep an eye out for signs such as significant lethargy, unexplained bruising, reddish or bloody stools, or a sudden change in breathing, as these could indicate worsening anemia or bleeding issues. These are signs that require prompt veterinary attention.



Remember, you’re not alone on this journey. It would be beneficial to have a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can give you personalized guidance and support to help manage your dog's symptoms and maintain their quality of life.
