Simba at the Vet, part 2

Simba's blood work came back and the results were very dismal. All signs point to some massive internal problem, severe anemia, and an extremely high glucose rate. Plus, his white cell blood count is very elevated and showing signs of toxic mutations (like Sami had). 


The prognosis for him is not good at all. 
I've already started him on antibiotics and will continue that. Dr Folland and I decided I'd continue to provide supportive care for the next week to see how he does. We'll reassess him on Monday. 

Simba is so weak that the blood draw exhausted him. He looks very very bad tonight. It hurts my heart. 


Phooey. Poor baby. My heart is heavy tonight.
