When we first brought CiCi home, we knew she had a long road ahead of her. She was sweet, full of love, but her health was fragile. A routine vet visit revealed that her anemia levels were dangerously lowāsitting at just 17. For context, the vet explained that anything below 20 usually requires a blood transfusion. Hearing that made my heart sink.
We left that appointment with medication, a special diet, and a determination to give CiCi the best chance possible. Every day became a mission: carefully preparing her meals, making sure she took her supplements, keeping her stress low, and giving her all the affection in the world. We celebrated the little victoriesāmore energy on walks, brighter eyes, and a wagging tail that never stopped.
The weeks went by, and CiCiās spirit never wavered. Even on days she seemed tired, she still greeted us with her signature āhappy wiggle.ā That determination made me believe she was going to pull through.
Today, we got the news weāve been hoping forāCiCiās anemia levels have climbed back up into the healthy range! No transfusion needed, no emergency treatmentājust the incredible results of consistent care, love, and her own stubborn will to get better.
I canāt describe the relief that washed over me when the vet smiled and said, āSheās doing greatākeep doing what youāre doing.ā CiCi must have sensed my joy, because she immediately started showering me with kisses right there in the car.
To everyone whoās followed her journey, sent well wishes, and rooted for herāthank you. Your kindness and positivity have meant the world. This little dog has been through so much, but sheās proof that with the right care and a lot of love, amazing turnarounds are possible.
So hereās to CiCiāour miracle pupāand to the great news weāve all been waiting for. ā¤ļøš¶š
