Khloe is still with us though she seems no better to me. The vet had me pick her up yesterday much to my dismay and I am caring for her round the clock. She has to have 40ml of water which is about 14 syringes full and 70ml of a soft critical care food through a syringe. Basically I am not sleeping because it takes about one hour to get the food and water into her. She really really doesn't want to take it but I'm not going to give up. She tries to stand up but falls over and through the night last night she was wimpering and so I just got up and held her close to me. I'm giving her everything I can possibly can and seems she isn't imroving. Today I took her back to the vet and he drained the swelling off of her head a bit with a needle and then gave her a long lasting steroid shot along with 10cc of subcutaneous fluids. We do a recheck on Tuesday and if there isn't MAJOR improvements, I will ask him to put her out of her misery. The amount of weight she has lost since Tuesday is astounding and I would guess her to weigh about 12 oz. She is almost 14 weeks old and this can't be a good thing. I want to see a sign that she is not suffering and then I will continue to do whatever it takes to help her make it. The worst part of all is the not knowing what she is feeling. That is the part that is haunting me and causing me so much stress. I will again update here daily given that I have an internet connection. Khloe still needs as many prayers as possible and I could use some too. Thank you to all of you kind hearted members here.

I don't think you can ask for major improvement by Tuesday. Khloe will need to take baby steps. If you just can't do it, maybe a yorkie rescue can take over her nursing and treatments?
