53,000 surprise

I took Chet in for counts the other day. He has a lot of patichiai and felt like his counts would be low. His red cells (energy) and white cells (immune) ARE lower than normal, but his platelets were at 53,000. They went up while the others went down. Strange. We were happy to not have to make a vampire trip to the hospital that night, but we have been taking extra precautions to avoid illness. Now I need to get him to eat more foods that will help boost those red cells. Between not feeling like eating and being an extremely picky eater, he hasn't eaten nearly enough lately. I am going to start hiding the nutrients in the food he will eat. I will let you know how that goes! LOL
