Does anyone have any info on this? Or experience?

Roxy is being tested today for it, she had borderline results on her CBC, complete blood work up.

I am so sorry to hear that...I dont know what it is!

I gather that it isn't definite yet? I hope not. If my memory serves me correctly, it it a congenital or inherited disease. Here is a link to tons of articles about it:

No it isn't definate yet.

She is the little one that just about died when she was 11 weeks old.

It isn't life threatening if treated with available drugs.

Let us know how the tests come out. OK? I'll be praying it isn't so.

I will...the Dr. said that she will know tomorrow.

Roxy is the one that just about died and we had to force feed her every 3 hrs for 3 1/2 hrs. She made it.

This is Roxy :

I am so happy for you! That is great news. I know how stressful all this can be. I will pray that Roxy will live a long, happy life

Thank you all. It has been stressful...mainly because that little girl has been through it. She is our baby that had to be force fed for 3 1/2 weeks from stress when she was shipped. She stood on the edge of that knife and it could have gone either way.

She is my sillyjacki's baby.
