There Must Be an Angel

Watching over this little rat. Once again, Noel has an angel watching over her. She keeps declining, and I took her in once again today, knowing I was going to say goodbye to her. She has lost almost all muscle control, but darned if she doesn't have a will to live. She will eat ravenously and drink water when I hand feed her.

So, Dr. C has fallen completely in love with her and does not want to give up on her. She's got her last "shot" literally today. He gave her a steroid shot, because he does not think that it's an infection, but rather something nuerological. If she does not show improvement by Thursday, we'll put her down. If she does improve, we'll get her on 10 days of oral steroids.

Her eyes are bright, and she's very alert, she just has no control over her body, but she's fighting. I am so in love with her little spirit.

Thankfully, I'm off all day tomorrow to baby her, keep foods in her, and watch over her.

Keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Hope she hangs in there, robin!

good luck!

I'm so sorry that she's deteriorated so far, and I hope she responds well to the steriods. C'mon Noel!!!

I hope she gets over it! Keep us updated!

Well she's Noel and she's got her Christmas Angel pulling for her. :) I hope she can come through this hon and I'm sending all my hopes and prayers for this little rat.

Got my fingers crossed for this girl Robin. Any reaction to yesterdays steroid shot?

Hard to say. Some progression, yes - in that now she's back to severe head tilt that causes her to do flips, but she's got better use of her front paws. I'm VERY cautiously optimistic.

Awwww Robin. Here's hugs and lots of good thoughts coming your way. Please let us know how she progresses. :hug:


Now I need to go find some kleenex. *** Blubber blubber ****

Well.... it's Thursday.... I've got my fingers crossed for a good update.
