I pray that Cricket is strong enough to make it through the

infection she had to have a feeding tube. She had it for about 2 1/2 to

one of the reasons why animals sometimes need a second dose is because their systems are already so shut down that the drug isn't being spread or metabolized efficiently. Ninja didn't have any sedation at all and the vet did a parenteral (abdominal) shot and Ninja raised her head at

It is a comfort that your prayers were answered and you were with him
