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!

Yah! Wonderful.

Oh, and just ignore your dad. I had people telling me that Fuzzbutt would not last much longer since she was about thirteen. She lived to twenty-one.

Don't mourn her while she is living.

You might want to schedule her for semiannual checkups instead of annual, just to keep a good check on her. And its cheaper than the emergency vet.
