I wanted to qu9icly tell everyone that Meltdown looks more likely to make it than not now. Until almost 5 p.m. Steve, Hanan (our vet) and I expected to lose her today, but Since then she has eaten 3 tablespoonsful of soup, she can now bear weight on the left front leg (It is wobbly and it gives out quickly but it can still come back more.), she has had another check-up and another sub-q rehydration. Basically it loks like she had a good sized stroke. The futon and her cage are next to each other in the living room now. Between meltie and dealing with famioly problems relateed to Blache's illness neither of us has had much sleep in a while. so forgive me that it shows. Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll both get stable and my relations will stop arguing over Blanche and her care. Sukie [Posted in FML issue 1891]
