Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Ana is home right now. The new vet put her on an IV of fluids again today and an IV of broad spectrum antibiotics that is supposed to stay in her system for 14 days. I've never heard of anything like that. We have to feed her every two hours, special diet, and make sure she's getting plenty of fluids. Antibiotic eye drops twice a day.

This vet said that if she's going to fight it, she'll get better, but if it's hereditary, then there is nothing anyone can do. So, it's a wait and see again.

Ana had her Distemper, Adenovirus 2, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, and Coronavirus vaccinations.

Her white blood cells were elevated. Hemoglobin was low. Both her BUN and creatinine were severely elevated - like what you would see with renal failure that's why I've been freaking out.

I don't know if she's been 'coughing' now, she sounds like she's having a panic attack, then starts panting. She had been coughing last Fri night/early Sat, and that's why I had called the vet Sat morning, but he wanted to wait to see her until Mon. (He must have misunderstood or something because when he saw her Mon, he was freaking out about her breathing)

This new vet actually conferenced with specialists and said she has done everything that they recommended. She thinks that Ana is better off at home for now, unless she starts having complications.

Ana hates her bandage on her foot, and she doesn't want to sleep anymore, poor thing. Hopefully that's a good sign. I'll keep you all updated.
