South Bosque Veterinary Clinic
For the last three years Isabelle Hopkins has battled with immune mediated
thrombocytopenia, a condition that results in a low platelet count from attacks by her own
immune system. Platelets are formed in the bone marrow and play a large role in helping
people and animals clot their blood when they are cut or injured. Isabelle frequently visits
South Bosque in order to monitor her platelet counts and regulate several medications she
takes for her illness. Isabelle also suffers from epilepsy, a seizure disorder, and
hypothyroidism, a condition in which she has a low thyroid hormone that affects her
metabolism. Isabelle takes two medications for these conditions and both are currently under
good control.
Isabelle's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, are extremely dedicated to her care and very
diligent in administering all her medications at the right time. Without their love and support,
Isabelle would not be the loving, vibrant dog that she is today. We have selected Isabelle for
our Pet Spotlight for her upbeat take on life despite all that she has been through.
