Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.  Words can't express what they mean to me.

Brutus did ok through the night, & we drove him down to Houston to a specialty clinic this morning.  On the drive down, the e-vet called to let us know that the test confirmed that he has AIHA.  When we got to the vet clinic, they assessed him, & did an abdominal ultrasound.  His spleen is about 3 times the normal size, which is, apparently, somewhat normal with this disease.  They did take a biopsy of it to make sure that spleen isn't the problem, but they don't believe that it is the cause. 

He is going to be hospitalized until he stabilizes.  They started him on prednisone, & we discussed other options that we may have if he doesn't improve.

On an upnote, if him still being alive wasn't enough, he did seem a little stronger when we picked him up this morning.  He did raise his head & give me a little nub wag.  So, for now, he's hanging in there.

OMG, just now seeing this!  Sending all kinds of healthy vibes, prayers and whatever else you need.  ((((HUGS))))

I hope that he responds to treatment. Keep us updated
