    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!

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

    Re: There Must Be an Angel

    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.
