So Sunday was a really good day. Or was it Monday? Either way, whatever day it was, me and daddy had playtime. Shannon was doing better, and we are going to pick her up Tuesday after work. Then the lady at the rescue said she was having diarrhea again. And that we had to call the vet. I had my Tuesday shift switched to Friday, and I then I picked her up Monday, and took her to the vet. They wanted to keep her overnight.

Last night they called and told me they couldnt even but a catheter in, because she was being too difficult. They said if she didnt get better by the next day ( today ) it was probably this disease that she will keep deteriorating, and we had to consider putting her down. I was an absolute wreck. Daddy was talking about how he was going to get the cage out of the bedroom, and I just keep crying. I was so sick last night.

Today the lady from the rescue called the vet, and one of the techs said Shannon seemed perkier, and was moving around. She even ate the lettuce put in her cage. It seems hopeful. When the vet then called me at around 10, she told me the were going to attempt the catheter again today, and that since she is doing better it was possibly just a severe case of this Stasis she had previously, and she just doesnt have enough good bacteria in her body right now. They said this might be a long term medication issue, but I can definitely deal with that if she is going to get better.
