Early today (Monday) Khloe was just staring off and not really moving. I was having to force liquid and the syringe food on her which was awful. This went on until about 1 pm. At 3 I went to pick up my daughter from school and when I returned home I heard weak barking coming from the basket where I am keeping her. I was astounded to find her standing and wagging her tail for me. I nearly fell over in shock because only an hour or so beforehand she was lifeless. I put her down onto the carpet and she actually walked to my little girl. Tears of joy were blinding me to say the least. Throughout this evening she has drank somes water from a bowl on her own, eaten a bit of boiled chicken breast and even tried to follow Louie around the room. Never have I seen so much improvement in a couple of hours so I have deemed it a true miracle. Many many prayers went up for her and no doubt they were answered. She is still very far from normal but I now have a lot of hope where early today it was diminishing! Thank you seems like such small words to express the gratitude I feel for all of the members here who prayed and offered encouraging words. At this time I feel like I won the lottery or something. I'm simply giddy! Tomorrow afternoon we head back to the vet for a recheck and I think he will be very surprised.

** as for the vet draining the fluid from her brain, it wasn't off of her brain I suppose because it was just the water/blood that had built up under the skin where the concussion was at. He just stuck the needle into the puffy area and removed some of the fluid to take the pressure off of her skull.

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. The vet did xray little Khloe and said there is a fracture in the skull. He is not ready to give up on her yet so I am refusing to give up as well. I just pray that she is comfortable with the meds given to her :( It is 1 in the morning and I cannot sleep and keep replaying todays events over and over again. I'll update here when I can
