Re: Update

Being the tough girl she is, Junior made it through the night! :) They're giving her anti inflammatory and she's moving around better, eating well, and her neurological symptoms are gone. They're trying to wean her off oxygen now. If they can, we'll take her home and spend whatever time she has left with her. The cause of the mass is still unknown. Most likely what she has is terminal, considering even if the mass isn't cancerous, she's too small to operate on or even do very many tests on. But as long as she can have some quality of life we want to let her live on as long as she can. She's such a little trooper. :heart:
I have been where you are. It isn't easy. Enjoy each day with her. :heart:
:heart::heart:

Good News: It's Liver Disease

Well, the best news we could hope for at this point. The vet said that the only thing that explains all of Junior’s symptoms are liver disease. There’s still the possibility of it being two separate things, but they’ve started her on treatment and she’s been off oxygen without seizing for 12 hours. Twelve more hours with no problems and we can bring her home tomorrow and administer medication ourselves! :)
