Good news

Peeper is improving! She's apparently gained a gram (which I guess is a lot), and she's got more energy - the vet said she's starting to be feisty when they handle her. :) He also said that the prognosis is "guarded," but he said it was good news that she's improving. He suggests (and I totally agree) keep flushing her system another day and keep feeding her and keep giving her medicine, and I can (hopefully!!!!) bring her home tomorrow. They'll show me things like how to give her fluids and medicines (I'm guessing by syringe, which I've done before). I guess she's got gout with the high uric acid, but she's doing better.

I think I'm gonna go cry again. :)

I am doing the happy dance! My only hope is that her quality of life will not suffer - I can sort of see what your Dad may have been saying, although not quite so .... caustically. But she is in VERY good hands, which makes her a lucky little bird!

He doesn't understand subtlety, that there's different ways to say things. Like instead of his "you know she's just going to keep doing this for years and sucking money out of you and being emotionally draining," he could've said "what do you think you'd do if this happened again?, and what are the chances of that?" *Sigh* I just keep reminding myself he means well, rather than meaning to burst my little bubble of hope.
