Thank you all for writing me and sending me your good wishes! I wrote back to a few of you with the thought that they might get through, perhaps a little too soon. Last night Sculley, the Albino, took a turn for the worse. Looking at him this morning, I knew that if I just left for work, he would be gone by the time I came home. So, I ran him up to another vet that someone recommended to me in Wellesley, but right now I don't have my hopes up to high. To be honest, I was expecting him to stop breathing before we made it up there! He seems to have absolutely no strength left, he couldn't even climb up his cage; He was 3 lbs when he was healthy, a few days ago he was 2 lbs, he weighed in this morning at 1-1/4 lbs. I just don't know when I should let him go. I keep bringing him back to the vets to be hydrated, only to take him home and see him go even more downhill. I think this trip to the vet is his last chance to recover...I don't think there's much point in dragging this out when this disease seems to take a stronger hold on him with every effort we make to revive him... To make matters worse, Loki (the one that managed to survive this) will be all alone! I don't know what to do for him if his best friend dies. I'm loosing hope!!! -Jennifer Makower [Posted in FML issue 1912]
