| I am just now able to log on to YT for an update on my Khloe. When we get rain, I lose my internet connection and we have had non stop rain here keeping me from internet use. 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 agree with jilly. She needs a specialist. A general practice vet is just not prepared to handle this kind of injury and really does not have a good handle on what he is dealing with. A specialist can do the tests needed to give you an accurate diagnosis of what is going on in your baby's head. If she has a big clot on the brain you need to know.You don't want to put her down if she has a chance of recovery and yet you don't want to prolong her suffering if the damage cannot be repaired. He is sending you home with her because he does not have the ability to give her the around the clock personal care she needs. Holding her close and giving her comfort at this time is just as important as any nutrition and fluids you give her. I know a specialist sounds like a big expense but using a credit card or borrowing the money may very well be worth it to you. At least you will have the definite diagnosis you need as well as the expert care. Will continue to pray for you and your little sweetie. |

| It's so true what the ladies are saying about a specialist. I hope you are getting the support at home both emotionally and with god's help financially to be able to take the little darling kiki to a specialist. Please know that we are all praying for her and for you. Lord I pray in your holy name to lay your hand on our little Kiki and help her get well. Amen.

| Just checked back for an update and am so very sad she hasn't greatly improved. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Just know you have many people here supporting and praying for you and KiKi. I am so sorry this awful thing happened... Big hugs to you.

I'm wondering what exactly the vet said the next steps were...? I think, like others, you absolutely need a specialist.
