hi many thanks for the support. we are taking lucy back tomorrow and we are hoping they are going to start her on steriods . Lucy as been going in the garden the last 3 days and she is wanting strokes, and plenty of attention. We have been giving her all special food, haddock, cod, tuna, ham she loves. turkey, chicken and she is now eating fairly well. Her mouth is still drooling though , but i spose it would do if her tongue isnt good. My daughter and i washed her paws for her the other day and shes been washing her face bless her. we love her so much and just hope its good news. Shall let you all know. thanks
