Just got off the phone with Nancy, who just got off the phone with the
vet. Harri is still breathing easily, and the fluid has not reached a
danger level again yet.

I didn't hear a definitive answer as to the makeup of the fluid that was
on Harri's chest - I didn't tell Nancy that we definitely wanted to know
these things. I'll find out late today.

The vet said that Harri's coagulation rate is very poor. This leads him
to believe that Harri got into rat poisin. We have none here at the
house, so it would have have to have happened while whe was on the road
with me. I was really careful about Harri not even sniffing around
powders or crystals or anything of that sort, but I wonder if any of the
bugs or lizards she ate might have been exposed to warfarin?

Anyhow, the vet is administering vitamin K and drugs to help restore he
coagulation function. If this proves to be the case, then Nancy and I
will have to administer vitamin K to Harri once she gets home. We can
deal with that! Harri will be with the specialist for another night, but
I'm even more hopeful now.
