Well we found out that Murphy has autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Basically it means that it white bloods cells are eating his red blood cells, or basically he is allergic to his own body. They can give him medicine and see if it reverses. If it does reverse, then he will go on to live a normal life, although it may come back. There is also a 25% chance that the meds will not be able to reverse it and his red blood cells will be destroyed. And you can't live without red blood cells.
He is still not completely himself, but he does have more energy. He is eating better and drinking a lot and has started fighting with Killian again. The vet seems to think these are good signs even though he still continues to lose weight and his white blood cell count continues to go up. Please pray for Murphy. I need him to get better. I do not want him to be sick anymore. I miss my old Murphy that was ornery and always getting in trouble!
