I went down to the vets office and checked out the "accomadations" they had to offer Amy should I decide to leave her there.. That is a definate NO GO! A cold, stainless steel CAGE in a small room in the back away from human contact, cold and damp. She would not survive a month there... She would grieve herself to death even if she could physically handle it. The floor of the cages is so slick that there is no way she could stand on them or pull herself up.. I just could not do that to her...

Today it is cold and damp here and she has just laid around all day looking so miserable... I think I am going to go ahead with the prednisone.
