Update
Thanx to everybody. We took Zoe to the vet this morning and the vet told us to give it about three more days to see if any improvements are made. She should let us know by that time whether or not it's tie for her to go. If we were to try putting her on IV at this point, we'd only have a 25% chance of having her recover. However, if she does better within the next few days those chances increase. She has been able to keep down the fluids we've been giving her, and has urinated a few times. There are a few other good signs our vet noticed, but until this sunday we won't know exactly where she'll be health wise. She did stand up today, and has started walking a little more, which needless to say surprised me and mom. It gives me hope somehow, seeing that she still wants to fight. And the doc also told us that he had an older cat that had the same amount of damage to its body from kidney disease. He originally thought it wouldn't make it when he did the IV treatments, but the cat ended up living five more years. Even if this is a small chance for Zoe, it gives me hope that maybe something more is possible for her if things get better over the next few days. My dad and I also talked and got our feelings out, so now, we all know where things stand and he knows what we have to do if things don't get better. I was being to hard on him before, and unfortunately we're both stubborn, so we clash sometimes. I love him, and I know this is hard for him too. He hides the hurt though. The last dog we had was like another child to him, and when he had to be put down, my mother told me that dad broke down pretty bad. That all happened in Key West, FL, were we used to live. I had already been staying up in the FL mainland with my grandparents until mom and dad came up to finally settle in our new home. Regardless of what we will have to do for her, I think we all feel better now that things are out in the open.
