Oh dear, Barbo - that's terrifying - can you telephone an emergency vet in your area and ask for advice? When I lived in Omaha that was possible -- not here.

We're currently having a terrible snow storm .... supposed to get 8" - 12" today and then the temp falls below 0*. It's going to be a scary time but everything will be OK if the power stays on. It's so windy that we are being told to expect 2 1/2 - 4 FOOT drifts.
