Well, the good news is it was completely normal! Her RBC count is normal and she's not making as many new red cells. So, that leaves us back to thinking it was a bleeding "episode", rather than chronic. And the ultrasound showed no fluid in her abdomen and organs looked normal, no nodules. Her poop is light brown and normal, so not GI.

That leads us the thinking it was a brain bleed/stroke. That would explain her lethargy/abnormal behavior (just sort of staring and not herself) and the head tilt. I don't know if the jaw was related and somehow it hurt when opening it, but it got progressively better over the last week and her red blood cells are stable, so I think that may be what happened.

No more treatment, we're just going with that. Her bloodwork is normal, her organs are healthy in the U/S and xrays, and she's back to chewing her bone in the mornings, so I couldn't ask for better. Kind of scary to think of a stroke in my girl only days after losing Raven, but God's grace spared me as I think He knows how much I can handle...

Enjoying my girl, one day and a time.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and good thoughts!
