She said what saved her was that we reacted quickly and got her to the ER and they were able to get her on the blood pressure and anti-inflamatory meds which caused the retinas to reattach. She seems to be even better today. Yesterday was such an emotional day and I hope not to have one like that for a long time. Thank you for your kind words and advice. It is amazing how upset we can get over our fur babies in a time of crisis. She really is like my child, especially since I never had children.

Thanks again.
