My vet told me unequivocally there was no treatment for my Henrietta and that she had a month to live at best. She wanted to euthanize. I did my own research and Henrietta lived another year. I just wrote an article about it.

Just like with Lucy, you have to get her a little stable first. You can do subcutaneous fluids and emergency food, or just water down some ground feed and give it to her in a syringe. You can put 1/16 of the powder from the enzyme in the syringe. You don't have to be exact with it.

I appreciate what you are trying to do. I just am not going to force her, weighing the cost to her against the slim chance of any durable benefit. I wish she had had 6 years of great life, but she had 4 of great life, and 2 of enjoyable enough. Thank you, though.

I am sorry to keep bantering, but on Christmas Eve, my grandson and I decided not to go to my mom's because frankly, Lucy was dying. We were sure of it. There is not a slim chance if this helps, it is a good chance. But I respect, but don't agree, if you have decided this is all that will be done for her. I would love to see a picture of her.
