Hi everyone We just got home.

I was so relieved to hear this news about Bassett. I've been worried sick about her!

If she is anemic, it's something that she will have to have long term management for. Dr. Schiller says that Bassett will likely have "chronic inflamation" due to the scarring she has on her lungs, and there is really nothing that can be done about it. She can be treated for anemia with injections. I don't know how many times a week or anything, but it's something that I can give her at home myself, so at least she wouldn't have to go to the vet all the time for a shot. She will also be on prednisone for a little while, and possibly for a longer duration. However, because prednisone is a steroid, we don't want her to be taking that for a long period of time because it can have some negative side effects.

Right now, Bassett is either eating or having a bath.. not sure which Either way, she's home
