Brue


Three weeks ago while I was in New Orleans, Brue had a seizure. Now that in itself doesn't signal imminent crises so we monitored her and last weekend she had another. Time to take her to the vet. Nothing obvious was noted so he drew blood for tests. Friday, the results were back signaling a very high infection, possibly liver related. She is on antibiotics now but the overall prognosis may not be good. She may have leukemia.

A return to the vet is planned for Wednesday to see if the antibiotics are working. As of this writing she seems to show slight improvement but nothing huge. On the other hand, she has always been a laid back couch potato and now that she is older (13 years old), seems to be more so. Thus it is difficult to be sure about the improvement part. We are hoping she will return to good health.
