Swift Half update - 3rd December 2010

• More freezing weather (didn't get above minus four all day - pretty rare for the Thames valley) with a day's respite tomorrow (may get to 5 celcius) and then back to frrr-eezing temperatures again.
• Cutlery seems about the same as yesterday - eating well but still as light as a feather and weak. If she makes significant progress tomorrow, I'll either pop her in the shed overnight, to test her temperature-retaining abilities or even re-introduce her to the coop.
• Yala's anaesthetic has worn off now - they've had to leave most of the surgical would open to "let it weep". Well.... weep it has (and is, still) - her tummy and left rear leg is soaked. She's looking very sad in her collar, not being able to clean herself or go outside - and I'm mildly concerned she's not even done a "number two" today.
• Wait and see still, for cat and hen - Yala will be inside for a couple of weeks I think, but I really want to get Cutlery out of the house now - she's been quarantined on her own for exactly a week, and this can't go on much longer....
