I really hope she gets better soon. I had to drive to a vet 2 hrs away but he was incredible.. At first he thought with the fluid in her abdomen that it would be a good idea to put her down (because we could not afford the labs and whatnot) but then he lanced her other leg to see if there was a parasite. There was a flatworm in there, which gave us some hope that it's the bug and not kidney failure. So he sent her home with meds and told me to keep her on brown paper towels til she heals.. I really, REALLY hope this works.
