sick lucy

Lucy is near death. Her temperature is low and she is severely dehydrated. She's been hospitalized. The vet thinks she may have kidney disease and is performing tests to confirm the diagnosis. The best case scenario is that Lucy will respond to treatment in the next three days. After that, she will need long-term home care, including pills and fluid injections for the rest of her life. Worse case scenario is that she won't respond to treatment and will die in the next few days.
