Gee, you've been through SO much with Gigi, Peggy, and pretty sure she
wouldn't have made it if she had become someone else's little Chi. So glad
she became yours. Lucky little Gigi.

Right after Gigi's spaying/teeth extractions, (last Sept) she refused to
drink anything for 3 months. I think it was because she may have had a
seizure either during or after surgery and it did something to her brain. I
say
that, because a week after her surgery she did started to have seizures,
which now are under control and hasn't had any for several months.
The only way to prevent dehydration, was to soak her dry food with warm
water and let it sit for 10 minutes so that it was soft.
Plus I usually added a little bit of canned dog food. Canned dog food is
loaded with water, but not a weight gainer.
It is also a good way to feed them when their teeth are bothering them.
They get a good diet and it is soft enough for them to swallow.
