Thanks, Nina. But of course she threw up the turkey that she ate so
voraciously last night, so back to the drawing board! I gave her turkey
baby food this morning and am waiting to see how she does on it. The pred
makes her voracious, and she thinks it is very mean of me to give it to her and
then dole out food to her in little spoonfuls, even if she is throwing up!
Lucy's opinion is that I can't have it both ways, making her hungry and then not
feeding her much. She actually just came and yelled at me while I was
writing that.
I am now working 3 days a week an hour from home (25 hours in 3 days plus
commute) and 2 days a week from home. Much better than what a lot of
people have, but between that and what is going on with the cats and my own
health problems, I feel like I have been run over. Maybe I should take some
pred. It seems to make Lucy feel great! :)
Did I mention that when Patches was having trouble eating before and just
after her dental surgery, I would feed her on the bed, where she was spending
much of her time, and have to coax her and pet her to eat, and now she insists
on only eating on the bed? She comes to the kitchen in the morning like
the others, but when I feed her she takes a few bites and then goes upstairs and
gets on the bed, and that is the only place she will eat! And
she is so messy, so I have an old sleeping bag there for her to eat on. Luckily
it is not the bed we sleep on, but still. I am so glad she is eating that I am
not really complaining, and would gladly feed her on the bed all the days of my
life if it means she will always eat. But I have to get up a half hour earlier
on the days I am commuting so I can sit with her while she eats her whole
breakfast up there!

Mostly because that will mean she's continuing to improve. I'm glad she's eating her turkey again. That is the one thing I KNOW made a difference with Gyps. Oh, I meant to tell you... Working with Darla we did find a homeopathic that is beneficial to Gypsy. It isn't the "answer", there's supposedly another one "out there" that we haven't figured out yet that would, (miracle of miracles), bring Gypsy back to perfect health, but it does help to give her Phos LM1 when she develops diarrhea. So keep your spirits up and get some rest. |
