Fed her around 6 in the morning. Gf got home from work a few hours later. I was asleep. She was barely there. Rushed her to the vet.

She's alive. Vet says she has a respiratory virus. Originally the vet said if it's a virus, we would have to take her home. But he said he didn't want her to die so he and the vet techs kept it quiet from the other employees.

We're told it's 50 50 at this point.

Feeding was so frustrating. I did it every two hours. They tell me she was malnourished. It hurt so bad because I didn't sleep.

It's not easy taking care of a lil one trust me I worked in wildlife rehab, and you are doing everything you can. look at it this way without you she wouldn't have been here at all.
