non_essentials, by raevnn. I used one on this post. It has nothing at all to do with this post.
Basta will be spending the night at the emergency vet again. She is not as dependent on the oxygen but because I cannot monitor her easily (they are not permitted in our bedroom, nor is the bedroom set up to accommodate her, so I'd have to sleep outside it - which would risk my allergies) and because Babe outweighs and out-energies her (and they sometimes spat, which would be bad right now), it is better to leave her there overnight and let them keep an eye on her until we're sure she's doing better. In the morning we will have to pick her up and transfer her to our vet, which I dread, because car rides are rough on her at the best of times. And hopefully tomorrow we will get some more definitive answers about the fluid on her lungs and what next steps might be, and whether we'll be looking at treatment or a much sadder option. I'm still hoping for treatment. She did look better when I saw her around 3-4, but still fragile. She always looks a bit fragile, though, except when she's actively beating the stuffing out of Babe, but I'm betting she's not up for that right now.
I hope it's the right decision, but you never really know, do you? It's the less risky decision, for her, and I...I am not inclined to risk right now. But it's lonelier, for her and for me. I want to go back over there tonight, but it would serve no purpose, wouldn't comfort me much more and might disturb her. At least, that's what I think, and I hope I'm not making decisions too far from reality.
