Hi Dee
I'm so sorry to hear your news and so hope and pray Buddy will recover very quickly once he has had surgery.
To answer your question, no Hollee hasn't had any blood tests yet. My vet said she was just to small to find a vein and we had time to watch her rather. She was 8wks when we were talking and even at 9wks he said the same. I must admit I'm not sure where I am with her as she seems to be so much better and more stable now. But just when I think this she has a very quite day. But on the whole she seems to be very much better. There are a few things that are of concern which are..her eating pattern, which has improved. Sugar lows which don't happen very much anymore. She is not putting on weight steadily. She put on a 100gms in her second week with me and since then, which is another week, nothing. Even though she is eating well now. And her fontanel hasn't closed. My vet said in very small breed dogs they often do take longer to close but when you put it together with other symptoms then it is a reason for concern.
Its awful having these issues hanging over my head..not really knowing. She will be due for more shots soon so I will see if she has put on any weight and what he thinks now.
Good luck with Buddy and he is in my prayers..
