Blue is a 9-month-old Brindle Pitbull mix. When Blue turned 8 months old, he broke out in hives. The vet and owner were unable to determine the cause, but the hives eventually subsided after a steroid shot and Benadryl. For nearly two weeks, Blue returned to his energetic, playful self. However, he soon became lethargic, refusing food and water, and sleeping excessively. His condition worsened to the point of collapsing twice daily. An urgent vet visit revealed Blue's low red blood cell count and severe anemia, prompting an immediate transfer to an animal hospital. After receiving prescriptions, Blue showed signs of improvement.

Two weeks later, Blue's health declined again. He struggled to keep food down, and his collapsing episodes increased in severity and frequency. The attending veterinarian suggested euthanasia, but Blue's owner asked for another option. Blue was transferred to an overnight hospital due to time constraints on performing a necessary blood transfusion. The transfusion successfully raised Blue's red blood cell count from 8 to 13. His first follow-up showed a slight increase, followed by two weekly visits with declining numbers despite medication changes. Blue was subsequently referred to a specialist in Richmond, Virginia, where an initial visit for his condition was estimated between $3,000 and $5,000.
