My specialist vet is very accommodating and will see Wicca Friday afternoon. It means yet another trip to Calgary (and probably in the snow), but it is worth it.
Tuesday night wasn't good. She woke up in the middle of the night and had to stretch- and she whimpered amd whined which killed me. So sad for the woo woo.
Since then there has been some improvement. She has had one dose of metacam (Wednesday morning) and has been pretty stable since then. She is also getting Traumeel twice a day.
Yesterday afternoon she seemed a little off, but by last night she was walking more normal. This morning she isn't hunched over and her skin and muscle are nice and loose. She (we) had a good sleep, and she was her talkative normal self for breakfast.
I am still worried about her, but the thoughts of death aren't swarming around in my head. I've been too busy to focus on her too much which is a good thing. Keeping busy is how I cope with life.
In one of Dr. Devall's emails to me she told me to stop freaking out. I needed to hear that. And it made me laugh. Both really great things.

Sending healing thoughts for Wicca. And yes, I agree, stop freaking out. ; )
Keeping busy is how I cope with life, too. It is ALWAYS nice to have a DISTRACTION. I am SO GLAD that things are IMPROVING with little Wicca!! :-D
Hang in there!!
Oh, Amanda, I am thinking about you. Just last week I had an incident with Tucker (found a small bump on one of his paw pads that looked a lot like a bump I recently saw on a greyhound that had been diagnosed with spindle cell) and I immediately went into freakout mode. Vet didn't think it was anything, but I insisted upon laser removal and histopathology, and, thankfully, it was benign. But I had several days of acute anxiety about the possibility of "what if?" I'm glad Wicca seems to be improving ... we'll be crossing fingers, toes, and paws for her.
Praying this is just a strain. ((hugs))
