Well, Dr. Lee did NOT operate on Yoda. She's too sick. He said "If she were my cat, I wouldn't do it and I'm aggressive." So...he put her on a stronger antibiotic and different ear drops to try to keep the polyp from getting any worse and to keep it from being so red. He'll call me in a couple of days w/the results of the other cultures that he had to do and then we'll decide when she should go in for the laser surgery. That's my only option. If she's too sick for even the laser surgery by then, I'll have to put her to sleep. BUT he said that he's very pleased that she's lived this long. He didn't expect her to. And she did well until just a few days ago. So I'm optimistic that the new meds will help and that she'll get stronger so she can have the laser surgery. When I told him that I wanted to bring her home and take care of her until the results came back, he said "Good plan".

She wouldn't eat there but she seems better here, so she'll prob. eat. I can hear how the polyp is obstructing her breathing, so maybe it hurts to swallow, too. She walks w/her head almost full tilt now. I'm going to watch her closely and let her sleep w/me tonight. I feel better about things, though I'm not sure why. Just having her home makes me feel good, I guess. All her fur posse friends ran up to her when she walked out of the carrier and I think it made her happy.

Anyhow, thanx for the prayers and I'll update you as I have more news.

Blessings,
