Hello everyone

I want to thank Dr. Karen, Russ, Alicia, Suke, Pam and all the other who
wrote me telling me to get keera to the vet ASAP.
I am taking your advice, we have an appointment for 11:15 (about 1 hour from
now). I wasn't able to figure out the symtpoms of an Addisionian Crash but
you guys all seemed to agree.

After I made the appointment I called Dr. Weiss to see if I could get a copy
of the records for the local vet. They agreed w/ Dr. Karen--a shot of
percorten (0.2ml) is what she needs.

Only the blood work will tell me anything else, but for now, I just want to
say THANK YOU for responding so quickly!

Meagan (and keera)
