Thank you again, all you kind folks, for all your good wishes and prayers and candles.

I called the emergency vet clinic to ask them about whether I should bring her in tonight .. to have the fluid drained if they could, or, sigh, to be euth.. I said, a positive sign is that she eats small amounts often and enjoys it, but negative the fluid and labored breathing. The person with whom I spoke said it was pretty much up to me. Then she said the doctor was presently in surgery and there are other patients waiting, so she'd check on what might be a good time to bring her if I'm going to. She said to call back around 8pm (it's 7pm now). So I guess I'll do that. It would be nice if they could drain the fluid and make her comfortable for a while longer.
