1. The way it looks like Marias brains are on top of her skull is from being kept in the blazing hot and bright store window for day after day with no covering to block the sun, or fur to keep the skin from burning, or medicine to ease the inflammation. The vet pointed out the thick rubbery tissue here compared to elsewhere. This is a different theory than previous vet. 2. Maria looks adrenal-and incomplete spay, but vet is hedging more towards adrenal. 3. Bubbles showing up on x-ray show gas or fur ball or something that is not right. 4. Maria stopped breathing when they put her under for the x-ray. Vet will have to be very careful with anesthetic to keep Maria alive. 5. Blood tests look great, vet says. 6. Maria weighs 1 pound, 2 ounces. She is smaller than the rotten Miss Mini-Me-who is now 1 pound and 8 ounces thanks to syringe feeding her Bob C. chicken soup. So surgery is coming up [Posted in FML issue 3468]
