Update From a Suckalicious Weekend

I chatted with one of the vets over at the hospital this morning. Diva is no longer "icteric," or jaundiced, and is no longer "autoagglutinating," which means her red blood cells are no longer clumping together. These are good signs. But her red blood cell count is only holding steady, and not yet increasing. Still, they're going to do another blood test later this afternoon, and if she's still holding steady, we'll be able to bring her home tonight. We'll have to get her blood checked in another 48 hours, and if she seems to go downhill while she's home, then back she goes, and we'll have to take a really hard look at what to do.

Also, because we clearly haven't spent enough on veterinary bills this weekend, our other dog (let's call her Lovable Mutt) required a visit to the vet for an infected wound. Lovable Mutt has been a good hound through all this, but she's a good hound all the time.

I really appreciate the comments all of you have left. Thanks.
