I know she feels safe with me which pains me the most because I fear I will betray her if I have to put her down. But i feel like she is suffering. She seeks me out. Ive been sitting all morning with her in my apron like a kangaroo, just so I could hold her.

I really hope you're okay as this seems to be hitting you really hard.

I'd like to point out though that keeping her in your apron all morning is not helping her, if there is a chance left. She needs her proper environment if there's a chance for her survival at this point.

Its not all morning, ive been trying to change things around for her to make her stay in the warmer side, I woke up and she was laying in the cool side trying to get to the warm and couldnt. She didnt have the UNF to. I held her for about 35 or so mins. Ive been trying to massage her back and get her to get her to respond. Her muscles do seem to have just atrophied or lost tone, maybe vet is right about paralysis.
