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. |
That's great that her albumin came up like that. I have a pup who has a protein losing condition (lymphangectasia). She was diagnosed in Dec. 2011 and is thriving. At the time, I really did not think I would have her through Christmas...so never, ever give up hope until there are no options left. That's great that your husband is so supportive!
