They think that since her immune system has always been on the low side, that she was at risk. I the southern states it is in the dirt even. All she had to do is dig around in it and breath the spores in. Dogs with healthy immune systems can get it, but not this severe. This is one of the first cases this vet has seen. I was told we can bring in in on our shoes, firewood and even dirt for our house plants. Me-Me doesn't have any of the side effects of this disease but anemia. They are still watching her almumin levels. When she was admitted she was .5,the lowest they had ever seen. She is at 1.5 after plasma transfusion. I have such a loving husband. He has told them to do everything they have to help her. |
