But I can not watch a baby suffer for no reason, when it is just delaying the inevitable. If I were in YOUR shoes, I would take that baby girl to a specialist, preferably at a vet school, and they will be able to tell you what her prognosis is for recovery. Then I would make my decision based on what they tell me. If they can tell me that baby will recover, then I would make my decision to continue to help her achieve that goal. |
