Jen, has Vivi been exposed to anyone with the flu or sinus infection
to your knowledge?
How did you get her bg? Prick a pad or tail? Trim a nail close?
A couple of things come to mind. If she is having trouble with
clotting, that can be a liver problem or complications from adrenal
disease, plus a few other things (ADV is one).
There could be multiple things happening at the same time that are unrelated. Does the bruise look like it is healing? Are there any new areas that are bruising?
