Sue revisited

She's not doing well, I'm afraid. She's not eating much, except if I smear food on her muzzle or paw, so that she has to lick it off. I'm giving her fluids each day, to at least keep her hydrated. And I'll pick up some new appetite stimulant from the vet tomorrow. But I think something's going on inside of her, something that didn't manifest itself in a recent blood test or X-ray. I think I'll take her to a specialist for an ultrasound, to try to find out what really is going on. I'd hate to put her to sleep before knowing what's wrong, just in case the problem is something easily curable. If the problem's NOT incurable, and/or is something major, I doubt I'd proceed further with Sue, especially given her age and current weakened state. I'm sad.
