    When i first moved in with my husband he had a big 4X6 picture window with a thin 4in ledge
    It now has a 10in wide ledge.

    Is there anyway you can make the ledge wider?
    can you put a chair or an ottoman under the ledge so its less of a drop should she fall?

    Do they sell the pet step there? Cant get the picture on here but you can check out Petco.com
    Brinkmann Pet 4 Step Pet Steps or something similar.

    I hope the pain meds make your baby feel better

    Happy Birthtday pretty girl and I hope you and your Mommy have many many more happy healthy years together

    I'm sorry your Luna is having health problems. I know it's upsetting for both of you. You're both in my prayers.

    Thank you so much for your support, advice, and prayers. Luna had a rough birthday today, spent most of the day in her refuge behind the couch, and is obviously in pain tonight. She wanted to climb onto my bed and couldn't, but she didn't want me to lift her up either. On the other hand, I found her on the closet this evening, and she's also able to jump onto the kitchen cabinet where she opened one of the doors, hoping to get some treats.

    I spoke to my vet this morning and ordered a bag of the calory-reduced Hill's food. She has also suggested a cortisone shot in case the Melosus (her pain med) won't help.

    I'm very tired and exhausted tonight and need to go to bed now, I will write more tomorrow. But right now, I can hardly keep my eyes open.

    Awww, we are sure the Cortisone will help, it is really a great short-term drug.

    Poor Luna. Could she have a blood clot? I've heard of those causing paralysis. I hope she feels better.

    Ask your vet about the aerobic oxygen too (mentioned on FB).
