VinnieAndRexsMom Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 spoil him rotten and love on him I think you are right. At this point it seems all he wants is me to love on him. I can't ask anything more out of him. No interest in food tonight. I have tried several different things. He is so tired and I am thinking it is the disease and possibly the Reglan. I might hold off on the Reglan now and see if he perks up at all. Right now he is just content to lay on the couch. He has had a couple visitors today and seemed to enjoy that. But I think he breathing is more labor intensive today than yesterday. The cough just really started a little over a week ago so I am not sure how long he will be comfortable. Have you tried strained babyfood meat? It's always worked here. And my friend Ellen makes scrambled eggs and stirs in some cream cheese just before serving. It was something Rex enjoyed when he was refusing all other food. Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greysandmollie Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Morning everyone... We had a pretty quiet night. I slept downstairs with him for a while but then he wanted his couch so I went up to my bed. He is not interested in food but I just gave him some Pepcid. He just seems very tired. And he is drinking very little also. I think he takes a few licks of water just to humor me. I thought maybe we could take a ride in the car today but honestly not sure he is going to be up for it. Unfortunately, not better news.

ZoomDoggy Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Believe it or not, I had surprising success using a small oral syringe to give Sissy Vanilla Ensure near the end. I filled it up, and poked it into the corner of her mouth and slowly released the vanilla-ey goodness into her mouth. I was leery at first that I'd be "forcing" this stuff into her, but she actually seemed to like it, nibbling at the syringe each time I offered it. I believe it gave her enough strength to enjoy a few more good moments those last days. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!

Even when they aren't willing to lick it out of a bowl, they seem to enjoy it from the syringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMyGrey+2 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Sending prayers and hugs for Bounty. I am going through bladder cancer with my non grey. She is 12, my heart dog and it is terribly difficult. She had bladder surgery but not all of it was able to be removed. She is on all the same meds as Bounty. I am giving her N/D food as well as anything else she will eat. She will still eat scrambled egg and sometimes chicken that I cook. I just want her comfortable until it is her time. Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. For anyone reading this thread the bladder cancer was not discovered because she was being treated for a urinary tract infection first. The vet tried quite a few antibiotics first before going to the ultrasound. There is no blame here. I don't know that faster treatment would have worked for her. All we can do is love them and hold them close. Hugs, Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
