Pets

She and her sisters were born just as the problem was really exploding. Her chances are guarded, at best, but if I can get her through the next 2 days, she might pull through. The vet, whose facial expression told me all I need to know about how dire this situation is, put it this way: There's no coming back from euthanasia and he agreed it's worth trying to save her.

She got a subcutaneous rehydration, dextrose, antibiotics and eye drops. I have antibiotics to give her. I have to keep her warm, hydrated/fed and away from fleas so she's going to be staying in the bathroom on a heating pad. And, of course, I'll be cuddling her as often as I can.

She is pretty active, right now. In fact more active than she's been in 2 days. She's a tough little girl so if anyone can recover, it's going to be her.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't emotionally preparing myself for a sad outcome, though.
