I am wondering what the difference is between an autopsy, a
necropsy and
a postmortum. Or are they all the same thing?



They are all names for the same thing - an examination after death
to attempt to determine the cause of death.



If Lucy makes it thru the night, which I doubt, I will have her
sent to
the Rainbow Brigde tomorrow morning. I would like to then find
out what
caused her condition.


I'm sorry that she is not doing well - it does sound like that will
be the kindest thing for her.
