Yes-being on Warfarin is serious stuff, needing to constantly monitor your blood and watch what you eat and drink-guess my days of putting down a FEW margaritas are gone-but at least I can have ONE on occasion. I will really miss eating mangos and liver, though-the two foods they say to completely stay away from!
I was raised with a boxer and have always been partial to them--GREAT dogs!
Mom went thru this last winter...not funny...
There are a few veggies that you need to stay away from, too...dble check. She is not on the Warfarin, because she has a Lupus factor in her blood and that drug doesn't work with it.
She has been having to give herself shots of a very pricey drug...can't remember the name for the life of me...sorry.
