Welcome! I would be happy to assist you. I am a 2003 graduate from UC Davis and a Medical Director of a veterinarian practice.

hello,
As I am sure you already know, there is only so much I can help from here.
first, the platelet count. It is low, but not enough that it would be resulting in this other illness. Also, the platelet can sometimes "clump" and cause the value to appear lower on the blood test than it actually may be.

Also, I don't believe the breathing problem is related to the platelet count either.

She is really sick. She really needs to get back into an emergency vet right now for supportive care!

To help settle the stomach you could give a 1/4 tablet of Pepcid A.C. 10mg antacid, or a ½ tsp of pepto-bismol. If the breathing is changed due to nausea, the antacid might help.

Very sorry to hear about her illness. Definitely, get back into the vet for continued supportive care. Also, the platelet count should be rechcked to see if dropping. if dropping, that may be due to a autoimmune disease (that is when the body is attacking its own platelets, and the treatment is to suppress the immune system's reaction).

Hope that info helps
Good Luck
Dr. Andy

REMEMBER: Even after you submit feedback, you can still review our discussion or reply if needed. Unfortunately, I cannot legally prescribe medications or offer a definitive diagnosis without performing a physical examination, which is necessary to establish a client-patient-doctor relationship. Any medical therapy and treatment should only be performed after an in-person examination with your veterinarian. While information may be discussed, this is not intended as an encouragement for you to self treat your pet.
