Ken and I were able to spend a little time with Harmony today. She was very happy to see us, but still looking very tired. It didn’t take long for her to become completely exhausted. Her gums are still pale, but she wags her stubby tail when she sees her  mom and dad.

The vet had the Pathology report back from Antech Diagnostics…basically, she’s not making any new red blood cells and she’s not killing off any either. At this point, he’s really stumped (he’s board certified in Internal Medicine so he’s trained to handle weird or complex cases). Unfortunately, the doctor doesn’t have a lot of answers for us at the moment. With the protein loss, he’s leaning away from IMHA.

If she’s still stable, she will probably come home tomorrow where it becomes a game of wait and see. The next step would be a spleen biopsy.

Here are some pics from our visit today…

She’s a daddy’s girl!

She tired really quickly…
