Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Apparently the Single-kidney Dog has Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. Not rat poison after all. This could mean eternal steriods for the dog, or it could go away. She's never exhibited it before, so I'm hoping that it's something triggered by her surgery (or possibly the dirt-eating).

Other than getting the dog to the vet, I got a lot of housework done, made a second trip to the vet, posted off a mss, some grocery shopping, registered my car. Cooked 3 meals. No writing (or revising) yet. Will probably watch Chuck in a bit, and then get to work....

I'm glad we know what's causing it now. Thanks for all the kind wishes before!

One of the important lessons learned is not to wait. Get to the vet and catch things early! I'm sure the little girl will rebound.

Or, maybe the imporant lesson is to just buy a Chia pet.
