oh Mary, I just read your post on your visit to see the vet, and it just brought me to tears. I am so sorry that you have been going through so much right now. You truly are doing everything you can at this point in time, and just take it day by day. Puddy seems to be quite the trooper. Sydney has been on iron supplements for about a month, and they brought her blood levels back into the normal range when they dropped. Just a thought. You are in my prayers and thoughts - the both of you. And I will be checking for updates on Puddy's condition.
