Thanks for all of the suggestions! We got Dad the softest bristle toothbrushes at the pharmacy, but his gums bleed constantly without even touching them. I'll definitely ask his doctor about azithromycin and my concerns about his kidney function.
I ask for copies of all of his CBC and ferritin test results. As of several weeks ago, his Creatinine was at 2.8 mg/dl and his e-GFR was at 23 mL/min/1.73m2. The doctor has not discussed what any of this means to us (it doesn't seem like he pays much attention to anything except his HGB, WBC and platelet counts), so I have to do some research and go armed with more questions.
