Prayers for Jetta please
I took Jetta to the vet on saturday because I could see bleeding under her skin and small bruises all over her body. She was just diagnosed with Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia. Basically her immune system is attacking her own blood platelets, making it difficult for her to clot on her own. Her platelet...

Prayer for Dez ( Update Dez is gone :'( )
Dez is in really bad shape and needs a prayer, vet doesn't know what is causing her to be so sick and most likely my grandma will probably have her put to sleep so she's not suffering anymore. :( Dez is a rottie sweet girl she's about 4 years old.
