GreyWrangler Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 She had a bandage change today and vet nurse said it looks good, but there still was some drainage from the drain so they left that in. One of the staff dvm's looked it over. Her surgeon fit her in monday before a mini vacation. We go monday at 11:45 or the next change and probable drain removal then. her spirits are high and she is tolerating her meds well except for not wanting to eat her kibble. So I made something of a meatloaf concotion for her. She loves it and Lottie was trying to get some of the good smelling beef, oatmeal, total cereal, eggs, and garlic mixture. I included a handfull of kibble to tonight's dinner and will add more tomorrow, hopefully getting her back onto mostly kibble by monday Quote Nancy and Grace - Andicot 2/1/07 Solo - Flying Han Solo 3/20/11 Missing: Murphy, Shine, Kim, Sprite, Red Dog, Lottie & Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWrangler Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Today she practically wolfed (as well as a toothless hound can wolf) down the ground chicken given to me for her by Mom2sweetpotatoes. I did mix in some oats and cereal and just a bit of garlic. I have some chicken nugget/raw food stuff to have given to her for lunch, and then either beef heart or more chicken for dinner. Probably chicken and the beef for breakfast. I will mix kibble back in when she is off the extra pain meds and the antibiotic. She has become a master of taking a mouthful of food and getting the meat off and dropping the kibble out. Which both Red and Lottie like, but not good for when i am trying to get the calories into her. I will have to try buttered toast. Thanks again Kerri.

Guest MomofSweetPotatoes Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Ahhh, that's good to hear! Glad she's eating again. Penny says Beef hearts all day everyday. She gets po'ed when the veggies are mixed in. Let me know when you need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWrangler Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 They took the drain out today. Looks good. A few stitches removed too! They added more padding around her elbow so she is doing a western walk, swinging the leg out and around since she cannot bend the elbow. Kerri's healthy foods are bringing her weight back up, but we need to stuff extra calories into her so she got a Wendy's jr bacon cheeseburger today, and 3/4 my order of fries and two bites of my grilled chicken. She also ate her full supper which had more straight beef heart than chicken/cereal/veggie mix and she loved it, almost licked the bowl clean.

GreyWrangler Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 day 8 since surgery. Parents took her to vets office since there was swelling in her foot, more so than usual after a bandage change. He surgeon actually had time for more than a peek, and talked to the parents. They didn't call with an update so i figured tht they just did a bandage change or lossened it. So what do I see when I get home: and and finally WOO HOO now i have to find a sock so she cannot lick it all night or test out the bitter apple spray Quote Nancy and Grace - Andicot 2/1/07 Solo - Flying Han Solo 3/20/11 Missing: Murphy, Shine, Kim, Sprite, Red Dog, Lottie & Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWrangler Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 I had to wrap Sprite's elbow last night as the hard point of the elbow was red and irritated. I put on some double antibiotic ointment then a gauze pad and then the elastic bandage. I then had to repeat the process of my father as he'd fallen and cut his elbow earlier in the day and had bled through the band-aids (he's on coumadin). this was after getting home from taking Red to the vets and getting his epilepsy addressed. He had another seizure tuesday afternoon, then one at 2:45 am wed. Sigh. So we upped his Phenobarb from 100mg bid to 200mg bid for 5 doses then down to 150mg bid with prn diazepam for when he does seize. one tab (10mg) as soon as he is out of the post ictal phase then another 8 hrs then 16 hrs later. This am Sprite ate her whole breakfast, it was 3/4 cup of kibble (california natural chicken) and half a beef heart patty. Tonight it was a cup of kibble and the other half of the beef heart patty. She only left a few pieces of kibble for Red to clean up. breakfast will be a bite or two of beef heart, ground chicken and a cup of kibble. No veggies or other mix ins. Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers.

Guest argolola Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 God bless you Nancy. You will all be in my prayers (I can sympathize with your dad, as I just got off Coumadin.) Sprite looks wonderful. Lola wants to know more about the beef heart patty (where do you buy them, are they cooked, etc.) She's very interested...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
