asterrocGood: Peeper's coming home! She's up to 68g, she's eating well, he doesn't think she's in much pain. I'm going to go in at 4pm and I'll ask a billion more questions and he'll show me how to give her the medicine and fluids - I told him I've fed and medicined her by syringe before, but a reminder doesn't hurt.
Bad: The medicine they're giving her reduces uric acid in the blood, but it can't do anything about uric acid crystals = gout. I don't know if they'll go away on their own, so they may never go away and she may never regain normal foot function. I will have to remove perches from her cage and put food bowls on the floor, covered with a towel. I think I'll buy more towels and little bowls for food before I go over there. When she comes home I will have to give her medicine and fluids, and I don't know for how long, maybe forever.
But she's coming home this evening! :)
