Bauer update


The day after Bauer's 3 month vaccinations he became very lethargic and ill, we thought it would pass, but after 24 hours he was worse. Mom brought him to the vet and was told his red blood cells were 9, the normal was 37. They diagnosed him with a tick fever, he received a blood transfusion and is taking many meds. We will know in about 5 days if this treatment has been successful. Let's all hope so, because if it does not, the prognosis is grave.

Here is an updated photo of Bauer.

Thank you and "the boys" for your hugs and well wishes. Bauer continues to act perfectly healthy post blood transfusion. We should know by Friday if he has responded to the meds and is going into remission.
