Ava was brought into our clinic on Good Friday last year with a broken leg, at only 3-4 weeks old. Her breeder thought the vet bill was more money than what she was worth, and abandoned her. One of our technicians stepped up and agreed to foster her until we could find her a forever home. After one night of fostering, she fell in love with Ava and legally adopted her so that the breeders would never be allowed to come back and try to take her. Exactly one year later, Ava started with a high fever and vomiting, then collapsed. She was rushed into the clinic where we found out her liver was in significantly bad shape. To prevent complete liver failure, Ava was immediately started on medical treatment. After a few days of doing test after test, and finding no diagnosis, we finally found a test that gave us an answer. Ava has Babesiosis, which is leading to hemolytic anemia. Babesiosis is a tick borne, blood parasite that makes the body attack it's own red blood cells. Ava is currently on liver enzymes to get her liver back in good condition and antiprotozoal injections to prevent her body from destroying her red blood cells. In three weeks Ava will need to repeat blood work and radiographs to determine if the liver enzymes have brought her liver back to a stable condition. We refuse to give up on Ava, her owner is one of our foster/adopters and her life would truly be incomplete without Ava.
