You guys are the best. Thank you all so much for your caring words and advice. Now, on to the bad news...

We took her to the vet today. I called and begged and she said she would see her and we could make arrangements. It cost over $300. just for today, but we have to do this. Ok, she said her blood work showed elevated calcium, which is one sign of a certain type of cancer called multiple myloma. I can't spell it because I haven't looked it up yet...but she said that was malignant. She said it could also be some type of anal gland tumor, and if so, that is fixable with surgery. So, pretty much not good news at all. We are praying the prednisone works and she is ok.

If you guys don't mind, I know people usually ask for prayers for people, but please keep her and us in your prayers. And again..thank you for your kind words.
