    Still keeping you and Katie in our thoughts and prayers. Let us know how things go. I sure hope you get her back home with you soon, and things start improving. Hang in there, and PRAY!

    Thank you for the prayers and the hugs. I am definitely going to need more.

    To answer your question Jan, yes Katie did have a post-op blood test done and everything was a go.

    I just got off the phone with the vet and there is no change as of right now with Katie. He said now that there is some paralysis on the front right side of her, but she still has feeling. They have put her on a different anti-inflammatory to see if this will reverse the symptom. He said that she could have developed a lesion on part of the brain from the anesthesia that is affecting the nerves to her right side. He said that this is very uncommon and very rare that this will happen. He said that by Saturday we should know if the anti-inflammatories will work or not. She has also been eating, but you have to put the food right to her mouth as she goes off balance to the right.

    You know how I am like with my animals and saying I am worried, is an understatement.

    Dear God, WHY HER????????????

    Gosh, I was so hoping to see some better news than this about Katie. Continued prayers are on the way. I know how worried you must be. I really hope this new anti-inflammatory will help.

    Many more prayers for Katie and a whole lot of {{{{{HUGS}}}}} for you.

    Just as a word of encouragement, my co-worker has a Boston Terrier, about 13, who recently had what they concluded was a small stroke. But at the time, she had no idea what happened, only that the dog was off balance and would fall over etc. The vet never actually did anything, (there was nothing really to do, he said) but the dog got better on her own.

    Hang in there.......Katie is in good hands.

    Please get better quickly, Katie girl! I hope the anti-inflamatories do the trick and your little girl can come back home very soon.

    Lorraine I know what you're going through. It's so hard and my heart goes out to you. I just hope and prayer all this reverses itself in time. Are they letting you go for visits? Hang in there girl you've got a lot of positive vibes here pulling for both of you. XOXO

    Prayers for little Katie and {{{hugs}}} for you Lorraine.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
