Please help us keep our baby Myna alive.

For those of you that know Myna, you know her to be the spunky, loving, shovel obsessed, sweetest dog ever. She is our pride and joy in our family. More a human than a dog to us. Something random out of the blue has horribly happened though. She visited the vet a few days ago and we found her bilirubin level very high. This worried us, but we continued to monitor her. Less than a day later she began to become very lethargic, had shallow and rapid breathing, stopped eating, had completely pale gums and ears, could barely stay awake and just laid down all day. The complete opposite of the dog we know and love. A day later it was completely worse. Yesterday, we rushed her to the Emergency room. After many tests, we were told she has been diagnosed with a disease called IMHA - Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. Basically, her red blood cells attack themselves and think they are bad cells. This is causing her to struggle to breath due to lack of oxygen. She is trying her hardest to push through. It’s a very quick running disease. Her RBC was a 12 when they checked yesterday. The normal is 30-40 for a dog. She also would have to be put on a steroid for life. She immediately was took back for a blood transfusion in hope to bring her red blood cells up. If she tolerated it well then it should bring it up some in hopes her body doesn’t kill off the new RBCs. They told us if we had waited another day to bring her in she wouldn’t have made it. Around 4am last night we got a call that her infusion had finished and her RBC went from a 12 to a 13. This isn’t great news considering it went up only one point. They informed us she was going to begin another transfusion immediately and many more transfusions will be needed in hopes to bring it up more so she can fight this. The transfusions are very costly and the more she receives the more our family is being dependent on funds to keep her alive. This is our baby, a member of our family, the best dog in the world. And to make it worse today is Myna’s 5th birthday. Many many tears have been shed already and if you know our family you know we aren’t ones to ever ask for help.  But, I know Myna can fight through this, she is a strong dog, she is a member of our family. This is an expensive disease and the vets told us how we want to continue forward depends usually on financial problems. Anything at all would help us and would pay for the extra transfusions and meds she’ll be needing. We just cannot say goodbye to our baby yet. Ultimately we know this is in God’s hands. Please keep our family in your prayers. Thank you all very much.
