Default Roxy update

I am so sorry to hear about your baby. So sad.
Roxy is hanging in there. just got all of her blood work done again.
ALT-normal
ALK- 597 ( normal range 5-131)
KBrom-good
Pheno level-low
Spoke w/ the tech and asked for the vet to call me back on Monday to explain.
Liver is still enlarged, heart is still enlarged, tummy still huge and painful, still panting at night and she gets out of breath very fast when walking.
Believe it or not she acts fine though! She jumps and plays. Stool color is fine. Urine is a little dark. I monitor her urine in her liter box pee pee pad.

I never took her to Redbank. At this point I just plain can't afford it.
Her bloodwork needs to be done every 3-6 months and that just cost me $300.00.
Her meds are about $100.00 a month.

My hubby has been out of work for a year now. (Union Electrician) 3 college loans for my kids. AHHHHHH!!!!
Doing the best I can for our little girl.
I am glad she is mostly back to herself. We have been given extra time with her so we are enjoying it!
Roxy's mom,
Maria
