Thanks for posting the blood work.
The Hemoglobin/iron levels are a bit low. You can try getting some liquid iron drops to give
to her a few times per week. Be sure to get dark leafy greens into her also, to help with iron
intake.
The lymphocytes are up a little bit so she could be fighting some type of infection right now.
The glucose levels are not horrible. They can be affected easily by stress or too much fruit
intake also.
The CPK (creatinine phosphokinase) is usually elevated after a blood draw. It is a very
sensitive enzyme that can become higher simply from stress, muscle trauma or injury.
A few B12 shots might help, sure. Keep getting fluids into her also. I'm glad to hear she
doesn't have a black beard right now & is sleeping comfortably too.
Keep us posted on her. While technically she might be wanting to brumate, for now, I would
not let her brumate until you have a handle on what's going on with her first.

That is very frustrating, getting different information from every vet. I'm sorry that they
haven't been helpful or compassionate at all.
You should be able to purchase liquid iron & liquid B12 at most health food/vitamin stores
I believe. You can use human grade but it doesn't take much. It is usually fairly standard
across the board as far as strength goes, with some variance. I would give just a drop or
two daily for those.
Are you going to take her back to the vet then for a couple of shots if he will do it?
If her liver is slightly enlarged, that will definitely cause trouble with breathing or swallowing
sometimes. Milk thistle is helpful in liver support so you could also try that for her too.
Does she have a good amount of urates when she goes to the bathroom? That indicates
renal function too.
How is she doing today?
