For those of you following, Shasta reentered the ER this evening after I noticed her frustration growls turning to anger, I believed it to be pain-related after a really rough night with her. Turns out, she's got some undiagnosed swelling of the lower lumbar area for some reason. This just seems to keep getting better and better...

My continued thanks to everyone at Indian Springs ER for their care and knowledge. Shasta was sent home with anti-inflammatories and more. Everyone, keep on sending those good thoughts and prayers and mojo. This little girl isn't out of the woods yet.

Here's to a more peaceful night, fingers crossed.

Shasta update - we have been advised to get an MRI to diagnose why Shasta can not see. It is obvious that her eyes are appropriately responding to light levels, at times it appears as if she can see, but she can not. She has been learning how to maneuver small areas in my home and she has been able to maneuver her safe zone during the day to find water, food, bedding and the litter box. While she's still missing the litter box, she's hitting close to it on wee pads. She has a bed made from a large storage tote bottom, cushy pillows and snuggly blankets. Her elevated bowl set arrives tomorrow. She has supervised time for exploring, has developed a walk that seems to keep her sure- footed and is learning to feel the wall edges with her cheeks and whiskers. She is creating a mental map of my home. I've joined several blind cat help groups to teach me to help her cope and the advise is working. I am currently using sounds and familiarity to train her to find her food and other things when I can not be with her or to let her know I've given fresh water or food. She's learning quickly because she's a super smart little girl. She's still medicated, but she is no longer seizing and has stopped circling until she falls over. Unfortunately, the cost of the MRI is 4 to 5 thousand and I can not help her. We are continuing to hope for a miracle.

SHASTA UPDATE.
Shasta's eyes are now responding to light. Although she cannot see objects (still hoping for this to be temporary), she is learning to maneuver and cope with the vertigo that comes with sudden blindness. Her mobility is improving. She is eating well and on a bunch of meds to help her be as good as she can be after this horror. I am so very thankful to the staff and doctors at Indian Springs vet clinic and emergency hospital for the care they've given Shasta, for always answering the phone, for being proactive and hopeful and for watching over her.

No means no for a reason. I am giving you a chance to come and get these guinea pigs you dropped on the front porch a little while ago. If you do not, I will take further action. Video surveillance means you are caught. A sign stating that dumping an animal is illegal means just that.

Tuesday update Shasta is home with me again after amazing care at Indian Springs. Still without sight, but her pupils seems to now be reacting to light and lack of. She is maintaining stance, although still clumsy. She's on fluids, antibiotic and anti seizure meds, hasn't seized since yesterday. Will continue to update, as she hopefully improves. Please continue the positive mojo, thoughts and prayers. She still needs a miracle. Thank you all. UPDATE (Monday) - Shasta is with me now. She has no vision; although she has strength in her legs, she can not walk. She's just finished a small meal after not wanting food since Thursday and is scheduled at the vet later today. Supportive care and prayers, good mohi, etc. is appreciated at this point.

UPDATE (Sunday) - I have not received any further from the clinic since yesterday morning on Shasta. This is nerve wracking. Please continue prayers, positive energy, mojo. All of it. She really needs it.

UPDATE - Sasha is now able to sit in the "loaf" position, but she is still unable to see.

Many of you have met Shasta at our store; an upcoming adoptable. She's a cute little girl, with lots of energy and a plethora of expressions...

Tonight, she fights for her life. She had a very bad reaction to anesthesia, I am told that she died for 30 seconds, was given CPR and epinephrine to revive her. It is suspected that she has a heart condition and this is why she was adversely affected. The neurological effects of having been oxygen deficient have left her both fighting to move and to see again. In short, her brain needs to "reset", but if it does not and she begins to decline, that will mean making the decision we all dread. The clinic sent a message that it seemed she was doing a little better today than yesterday, but I am not able to talk to the doctor or see her until Monday. I don't know anything more right now. Yes, this is a truly crappy situation, but my hope is that it WILL change by Monday. If you pray, I ask you to please send prayers for her full recovery. Whatever you believe in; good vibes, mojo, whatever...she truly needs all of it over these next few days and maybe weeks. In short...she needs a miracle. No animal deserves this.

She appreciates it, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Where we came from...

Long ago (1975) and someplace in Apollo, PA (a basement)...a man named Deane decided to turn his fish hobby into a side business after his nine to five grind on the weekdays and all day on weekends. From it’s humble beginnings of painted cement floors in a walk-space fit for three side-by-side strollers, he and his family worked lovingly at his hobby...

...and nurtured it into what it is today.

Back then and in a much more simple world, a wooden hand-painted sign adorned his front yard. Black letters spelled out, “The Fish Bowl” over top (of course) a fish silhouette. The sign was illuminated with a single overhead light under a makeshift canopy, parking was up and down the street and on a first-come, first-serve basis. Sometimes people would walk a block or more from their parking spot in order to visit. Families of folk from near and far came to buy some ornaments and gravel or to pick a pet fish from the selection in a handful of fish tanks. His daughter (me), sold five-year-old hand-painted pet rocks at the reasonable price of 10 cents each.

The highlight of any visit for the customer back then was to watch Deane feed and “pet” his electric eel (wearing heavy-duty rubber gloves of course). To a little “pet rock entrepreneur” watching from the counter, that wet pet seemed too dangerous (and probably too slimy) to entertain. It also seemed that maybe her father was...well, TOTALLY BONKERS, NUTZO!
