the vet came...not good. he said the damage to her leg structures from the chronic edema and infection is apparent. he said spritely is palliative now, pain control and quality of life are the only goals. he said that if we can get her pain under control and get her walking by saturday, we can maintain her on the quatrosol until she flares up again. the quatrosol will cost $10 a day for her indefinitely. but either saturday or with the next flare up, that is it, spritely can't take any more. so we shall see what saturday brings for us, a little more time or not. at least she is eating again.
thx deb, how lucky am i to have loved so many...write their names for me and i remember and am grateful. cheddar the chicken in the fridge freak, gosh he loved that, jacob on my shoulder, shamus with that perpetaul smile, beanie with the longest tongue trying to eat a dinasaur sized bone, and little miss poop alot poking me in the face til i said ouch and saving all of her love for me. and pick me up peter, i always said no but i always picked him up while i said it....all of them, every one special, i should quit whining, they still fill me up full.
