Platelets And Lori

LORI:  First ME...  Guess who is in heat AGAIN!  

TBT:  Megan asked about platelet clumping.  I found this... 

"Platelet clumping occurs when the blood platelets responsible for coagulation stick to one another to form clusters. The presence of platelet clumping has no clinical consequences other than preventing instruments from properly counting blood platelets."

Apparently platelet-counting equipment ignores clumps because they are too large.  Manual counting is required.  Which my Vet says she did BTW.  She may never has seen clumps before, though.  It is pretty unusual.

I found a site that mentioned 1 per 2000 individuals.  I think that was for humans, but may be about the same for other animals.

About Love Your Cat Day...

AYLA:  WE  CAN HAVE PICTURES AGAIN!

And cool ones.  You now how last Thursday was" Love Your Cat Day"?  TBT took Iza and me to the VET for stabbies.

Well, he PAID the PRICE...

I ripped him up GOOD!  He was bleeding in so many places, he dint even KNOW where ta put the bandages at first.

And did Iza thank me even a little?  Yeah right...

I DID have needle-sharp claws.  But they clipped them.  Good thing I used what I had before the vet visit!
