Jaz Friday report.


We may need a miracle. The vet called today around noon. Jaz was headed the wrong direction. Her blood pressure was way too high. She was all puffed up, retaining fluid. So off we went to Tacoma. She looked awful. However,the ultrasound came back the way we wanted it to. Nice and big but now it is a fight for the other stuff that is going on. She is retaining fluid because her red blood cells are not carrying the water to the kidneys to get flushed out as urine. Instead they are staying under the skin. They are giving her human Albumin to help with that issue. When we left tonight there was a bit of good news. Her blood pressure is normal finally so the IV came out. That caused a bit of the high blood pressure. She also peed for us before we left. She still is NOT eating. So tonight they will give her more Albumin. Tomorrow will tell us more. If her numbers are not good. We will say Good bye tomorrow night.
Pray for a miracle.
