When I got up this morning, Charlie had completely collapsed! She didn't move anymore at all, the limbs didn't work and after eating a few pellets first thing, she then refused all food. I was so disappointed, she did so well last night and I was positive that we had some more time left with her. But this morning was so bad that I really thought it was the end of the road for her. She just didn't respond to anything anymore. I called the emergency vet, luckily it was Ash again, the same vet as yesterday. So he knew the story. I was sure we weren't going to bring Charlie back home! However, Cornel said we should try another round of steroids seeing that she responded so well last time. I think the vet wasn't too sure about it, but we decided to go ahead with it. I have no idea what he injected (well, obviously the steroids), but it's flipping miracle stuff. By the time we got home, Charlie was "up and running" again, drinking from the syringe and eating pellets and greens and some hay for England! I can't believe the change in her. She was quite literally at death's door this morning, and although still slightly wobbly (more a little weak than wobbly actually), she is active, well co-ordinated, seems happy and content and is eating and drinking well. So it looks like little Charlie will remain on steroids probably for the rest of her life, however long this is... may be days, perhaps and hopefully weeks even! She is such a darling and such a fighter. Here's some pictures
I just took.

And with Magic
