Hello everyone. My little boy, Spencer, who is only 8 mos old is in dire
straights.
He has been in the vet's care for 2 weeks now with terrible blood numbers. He
has received a whole blood transfusion, plus 2 rounds of plasma.
Still - his RBC, WBC, and platelets are very very low. H
I'm so sorry Sherry.
