So we transferred Zelza to another vet yesterday. Giant place that has a neurologist. Right now she's getting an MRI and spinal tap. But currently it's looking like she had a spinal stroke. So the stroke actually caused the paralysis and the fall. Today I'm told she was able to take a few steps. Yay! Until today her front left leg was doing absolutely nothing. So her front leg is kinda moving today and her back left leg is able to bear some weight. This is a HUGE improvement over Saturday when she couldn't control any of her legs. There's still a chance it's an infection or a slipped or herniated disk, hence all the tests. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
This is costing a lot, but we'll do anything for our Zelza. I mean, what else would we spend the money on we've been saving. A house without a Zelza? No way.

I am a graduate student at GATech. I study physical oceanography and am particularly interested in biological systems. For those that don't know, it's basically physics, and no going "eww math!" at me.
In the beginning of March '07 during my second semester, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's actually not that bad... or at least it's not as traumatic as I'd have thought something like this would be before actually getting it. So I made a blog spot to kinda keep track of everything that's going on and post nice baldie photos of myself. =)
Edit: Ok, it's August now and I'll admit it has been somewhat traumatic. But I've been managing.
