She did, and she can come home. The vet says that next time she collapses so badly, it's probably time to put her to sleep.
Other than the raging anxiety I've been having for days (since I did my finances), I'm ok. It makes it hard to concentrate or work though. Which is ironic.
Thanks for asking. :)

No, this is one of my two seventeen year olds. One has a highly invasive cancer, and the other has advanced heart failure. Neither will be around much longer. I'm fond of both of them (particularly the blind deaf one with cancer who manages to find me wherever I am), but at seventeen, it's hardly unexpected and I'm glad they had a long life.
The little one is doing ok. She had a slight downturn, so she's on steroids, but for the most part she's adjusting to her partial effective blindness and proprioception problems and compensating nicely so that she's quite functional, if a bit reclusive. It's not advancing nearly as quickly as I had understood it would. I wonder if the diagnosis was correct, or if I just didn't understand what they meant by rapid.
Her brother has separated himself quite a bit from her, and hangs out with me or with our healthy, if unbelievably obese, Cavalier. He's become my little guy, and I can barely sit down without him asking to be let up to lick my face thoroughly. I can't seem to convince him that he's free to lick everything but my face, since I've never liked the sensation of being licked on my face. So I sit with my neckline up over my forehead a lot. :)
I'd like to get another one, since we had agreed that four (two largish, and two small) would be the number of dogs we would keep. But I think it will have to wait until my finances are in line.
This is the end of the thread.
