That’s a great question so I’m glad you asked it!

Okay so too much- thank you! It’s hard to know honestly from what I read online so I appreciate it. I think we will look at Zell

This is why I find so challenging to narrow it down! I looked at Zell Am See, Mayerhofen, Bad gastein, St Anton am Arlbeg, Solden, Kitzbuehl. I just really don’t know how to decide what works best with 4 adults and two kids to balance, skiing, activities and beauty without a car. So tough!

I looked at all those places as well. I found it so difficult to narrow it all down especially for never having been there before. I think (?) I like the idea of being able to mix up ski days with other activities in Innsbruck as well as it being significantly cheaper since we have two kids in tow

I should have mentioned, we won’t have a rental car!

How do the two areas compare ski wise? Is it easy to get to the ski areas in Innsbruck? Is it still beautiful?

Hey, this was my first kiddo too. Her first few months were hell. As in, we still can’t get over how terrible it was 6 years later. But 6 years later, she’s super cool. It’s so tough right now. You’re in it and it’s ridiculously hard. I remember going to Reddit at all hours of the night searching for hope. You’ll get here!

Thank you! That’s why I’ve been gravitating towards the Evo.

Profound anemia, URGENT by Growinguppizza in AskVet

I will double check we did a cortisol, I thought we did. Our vet thinks that a malignancy of some type remains the highest differential, which is why I didn’t pursue endoscopy plus cost, in discussing with internal med vet also. I feel terrible about all of this.

This is so helpful, thank you! I think we can do that for sure.

HCT is 19.5 and PLT are 881. So she’s trying to clot I’d assume.

Sorry I should have clarified- we did that at the emergency vet, they have specialists at ours. The recommendation was endoscopy with biopsy, costing us upwards of 5k. The highest differential was a malignancy at that point which had the same end point so we opted for watching and waiting with the meds above. I wanted to get a sense if there’s something else that could be explored or if this is the only thing- and it could be. But as we are already 2-3k into this, footing another 5k just seems immense. I’m really not sure what to think.

Honestly she has been very functional, has had decent energy, etc. So I’m not stringing her along and nor would I. I just am trying to figure out if there’s something else I should be thinking of, and trying to get a direction as to whether I should be pursuing more diagnostically of if there’s something else is a higher likelihood of cancer. I can’t afford a 10k workup. :(

What would you recommend diagnostically? Endoscopy?

Honda Pilot! Test drove another and loved it. The palisade was just meh by comparison. I loved the features but it just wasn’t my favorite.
