⭐️Pet of the Month- November 2023⭐️
Lovely Leia has been selected as Pet of the Month for November!❤️
Leia came into the clinic to see vet Douglas in October after having blood in her urine and episodes of bleeding gums.🩸
She was admitted to the clinic where she underwent lots of tests including bloodwork, x-rays and ultrasound as well as feacal analysis to look for any explanation for her bleeding.🩺🩻🔬 Leia was a star throughout all of this, letting the team undertake all they needed to in order to come to a diagnosis.⭐️
Investigations revealed that Leia had suspected immune mediated thrombocytopenia, a condition where the body’s immune system destroys and damages its own platelets which can be fatal.
Due to Leia’s condition deteriorating significantly, she was referred for further treatment, support and investigations.
After hospitalisation and supportive drug treatment at the referral practice, Leia was discharged home to her family.💗
Leia continues to recover at home with her lovely owners and is doing much better. For all her bravery throughout the past month, Leia is Novembers Pet of the Month!🐾
