Madame is not doing well at all - she is in visible pain due to the withdrawal of the painkilelrs for ehr arthritis.
The results from the specialist, in just now, confirmed what my vet said: the red blood cells are not regenerating.
My vet is still hopeful, he said this may take some time, meanwhile I'm to feed her some red meat, and bring her in for another check-up on Tuesday.
So I'm doing my best to keep to Madame's routine, and am trying hard not upset her in any way by being emotional.
Thank you for all your kind words - we're hanging in there, taking each day as it comes.
