Thank you guys so much. Thanks for the suggestions too, I will look into everything. She is not in any sort of cast, and I am not sure why but I guess maybe since she's not even used to wearing a collar, she might be so uncomfortable she'd struggle to get out of anything we put on her neck. I made her a rice sock for warmth on her neck and she didn't even like that.

I stayed home from work today too. Scott was still getting up during the night, and I could not stop shivering! I felt a little feverish and I've had a headache that hasn't gone away since last night. I need to take care of myself and my family right now, and work has been pushing me to take time off anyway.

I think Scott was much too sick to look after Layla this morning. All I could get from him was a grunt. So I brought Layla downstairs, expressed her, made her breakfast, held the plate so she could eat off it, gave her the anti-inflammatory, and took us back to bed.

When I woke up, about 10 minutes ago, I looked down at her and she's not in her bed, but on my bath robe that I left on the floor right in front. She's laying on her side which she hasn't done since her neck problems started. I went down and petted her, and she was totally relaxed and not trembling at all.

I know I just need to take this a little bit at a time and for now, she's either stable or improving and that's great news. Last time she kept going down, down, down, constantly. Today I can be a little more positive.
