Oh no Purrs, thoughts and prayers coming. I can't imagine what caused
this.


Apparently, it can happen spontaneously:

I sure hope she makes it poor baby.

has done all he can for her. He has referred us to a specialist in
Orange County. I was out in Orange County when he called me, so I'm
going to be putting in a lot of miles today (it's about a 3 hour
round trip). I stopped at home just long enough for a bathroom break
and to update everyone. As soon as I hit the "Send" button I'll be
hopping in the car, going to pick up Nancy at work, and picking up
Harri at the vet and making a high-speed run to Orange County. I'm
glad Nancy is coming, since I'm going to want to hold Harri and I got
no sleep last night so my reaction time is kind of slow.

After the specialist looks at Harri's x-rays and lab results he should
be able to tell us if Harri has a reasonable chance to survive. For
the rest of today your purrs and prayers would be more welcome than
ever before. With a little luck, by 3:30 or 4:00 Pacific time I'll be
learning if my little sweet baby will live or die.

In addition to purrs for Harri's health, we could also use financial
purrs. That Nancy's idiot boss will release her to her new job (that
pays 30% more than her current one), that I'll find a job, that the
insurance company will pay off on my totaled pickup quickly, and that
the specialist will take payments.

Mega purrs headed your way. I wish I could do more.

Oh, no, I'm so sorry. I talked to a tech earlier today and thought things
sounded much better than that. Please keep us updated. We will all hope
for the best when you talk to the specialist.

Poor Dan & Nancy, poor Harri.
Lots of purrs and prayers for everything you need to get through this.
Don't let money be an issue if her treatment is expensive, go ahead and okay
it. The money or the means to pay it will come from somewhere, mine always
did even when things seemed a bit hopeless.
If you mail me your address I will send you a bit to help, you can decide
yourself whether to put it towards the vet or the specialist bill.
Bad luck often seems to feed on itself somehow things always happen when you
can least take it, or afford it, one disaster on top of the other. It's
happening to Ginger-lyn, to me, and now you.
This is a powerful group. I am sure we all feel like we know you and sweet
little Harri, I know I do. I am also sure that we can as a group, help you
out financially at this time towards Harri's urgent medical care even though
it looks like the expense might be scary.

lots of hugs

Dan, I'm so sorry to read this. I saw the original, and was hoping for
better news on the update. Purrs and things going better thoughts and
wishes all around. Please keep us updated. Harri is such a special girl,
and you've all been through so much lately.
