Sassy Update

Sassy is still at the hospital. Her ultrasound today showed that part of her pancreas is REALLY swollen. The vet and radiologist put it at a 60-70% chance that this is a large mass (about 2in by 3in). There is a fair chance that it is just pancreatitis, however. This second diagnosis is bolstered by the fact that Sassy seems to be feeling much better. Because she seems to be back to her old self, we decided to see if we could take her home for a few days to see how things go. They are going to take about 24 hours to wean her off the IV fluids with the hope that we can bring her home tomorrow. Her mobility is still really impaired, but Chris and I think that once we get the IV out of her front leg she will be about to move about with no more difficulty than usual.

SSSOOOO, in essence a 24 hour reprieve -- we will really know if she can come home tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who has written and called with words of support. Please keep Sassy in your thoughts and prayers for a bit longer.
