Dixie was chasing a squirrel yesterday and her legs fell out from underneath her. We were checking her out and noticed her gums were all white. She had been weak for a day or two but we thought she was stressed out from the 4th of July festivities.

If you ever notice white gums on your pet go to the vet immediately! Dixie has Immune Medated Hemolytic Anemia. Her immune system is killing off her red blood cells. She is on medication which hopefully does the trick. If not, she may need a blood transfusion.

Please say a prayer for Dixie. She is such a sweetie and is part of our family.
