I don't know. It's at the vet...has an IV and everything now. It has several genetic disorders that places like Texas A&M and OSU would like to study in the vet science depts.

I know when it gets too bad they'll put it down...but it's had a pretty good life, even though it's blind and incontinent. They put a diaper on it and stick it in a stroller and haul it with them everywhere they go.

Just the last few days, though...it just lays around. Doesn't get up at all. I would pick it up to take it to the bathroom and it would just wake up long enough to go and then it would lick me on the face and lay down and go back to sleep.

Well, I would not donate any living animal that I loved to a science department. They will not treat her like the pet she is. Why hasn't she put it down? What are they trying to do with her today? What is she in there for, I guess is the question, if not to be put down?
