wendyzskiShe is going to be transferred to my regular vet practice (in the same building) within the hour.
No real change overnight - she's still on her side and isn't trying to stand or anything, but if you put greens in front of her nose she will eat them "very enthusiastically" and accepted syringe-feeding just as happily. But they are a ltitle worried because she hasn't pooped. So for now she's no worse but she's not really better either.
If it's infection-based, I'll do everything I can to help her pull through. But I've decided that if it's neurological I may let her go. If there is a chance she'll recover, even partially, then she gets it - she'll adapt to just about anything. But if there isn't any real prognosis for improvement, I won't force her.
I'll know more in a few hours.
