    How can I quickly in crease her red blood cell count at home. She has had nose bleeds and has been extensively tested from blood test to contrasting scans to nose scope.

    Why do you think she needs that in the first place? If it was even possible.

    Since you have been to the vet more than a few times as you say "has been extensively tested" what did the Vet have to say about this?

    If your dog's gums are white, or pale, that means your dog is enemic. If the gums are pink and healthy looking, then don't worry about her red blood cell count. Of course can introduce cooked grd. Beef into the feed, but not necessary if the gums are pink.

    The main question to the VET's was how to stop the nose bleeds not how to rebuild the red blood cells -- which I did not get - that is my question because of the bleed which has lowered the red blood count. I have insisted on a transfusion - which she got -- that brought her count up from 19 to 28 -- but never received any information on bring the count up.
