BUN down by 50 points, creatinine stable at 2.2, and the liver numbers have also dropped some. Dana also said Bumble was more alert and had eaten yesterday so it does seem like some improvement.
Ladyjane, anemia is a common complication with advanced kidney disease and the dog has also had an overload of fluids, which can also contribute. But if the anemia wasn't present prior to the biopsy I suppose that it could possibly come from bleeding at that site as well. Looking backwards at the posts though, the HCT was already dropping (although not into the danger zone) on 12/18.
I sure hope Bumble shows improvement today. She has a lot going on in her little body so I hope she has a fighting spirit.
Dana, we are thinking of you and Bumble.
