and she isn't out of the woods yet.
She looked a bit quiet on Sunday but I thought she had maybe got a chill with the cold weather and so put another rug on her.
On Monday morning she looked terrible breathing really heavily and looking very ill. I called the vet out and she had pneumonia- he didn't give us too much hope but pumped her full of drugs and left. I had to call another vet out in the evening because she went downhill again, and again she was pumped full of drugs. I checked her through the night, expecting to find her gone each time, but she was still with us in the morning and eating a little. I had to give her a load more injections at 5 and it was awful because she yelled and started panting ( i thought I killed her). She is fine again now, but it will be another worrying night in case she doesn't make it, I hope she is over the worst but she is very old scrawny girl so the odds are against her.
