No you have to be an optimist when it comes to your babies and hope beyond hope that these blood parasites can be treated and that the treatment will work. I'm sorry to hear about that and the anemia, but I'm an optimist and I refuse to believe anything negative until I have prove of it. So I'll be your optimist and hopefully that will translate into all good things for Ava, K?
That was so great that Kristine went with you, you needed the support. That vet sounds awesome, so knowledgeable and knew right away that the blood tests were the best course to figure it out.
I'm praying for good news for Ava, she's such a beautiful leo.
Keep us all posted, k?
