Madeara Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Funny some doctors tell you they can resume eating their kibble. Mine didn't and the LP board didn't recommend to. So I followed the meatballs recipe for Darius for a few weeks. I slaved at these meatballs, I packed in baggies and froze feeding portions. I also added ground up Canidae to the recipe. I really was so scared of the dreaded "crumbs" But they do learn how to eat and drink again. I have not had an issue to this day. Just have a thermometer so if you think there is something wrong. If you suspect AP get a chest x-ray immediately. Oh the attention Chancy will get now (not that you didn't give him enough before) , just like Darius he will wrap you around his paw EVEN MORE Also remember the throw up rule and I will post that to you once I find it. http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/MGS7RqasqBoTD...Suggestions.doc Edited August 9, 2007 by Madeara "To err is human, to forgive, canine" Audrey, Nova, Cosmo and Holden in NY - Darius and Asia you are both irreplaceable and will be forever in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trevdog Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Woohoo Chancy! I'm sure she's feeling better already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomDoggy Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 My gentle stripey tiger-girl is home. : She's very wobbly and woozy from the anesthesia (getting up the five steps to the house was a small adventure), but dang if she isn't breathing ever-so-quietly! In fact it's almost eerie how quiet it is in here right now. I keep checking to make sure she's still breathing. I have several pages of after-care instructions from the surgeon, in addition to the pages of info I grabbed from that Yahoo LP group. I feel reasonably well armed, information-wise (but always appreciate hearing others' experiences). I made a huge batch of Sissy's meatballs for Chancy last night. But my post-op care sheet says to wait until the morning after surgery to feed for the first time. That's a long wait. I'll take pics of the incision later when she's feeling a little perkier. She's snoozing in her bed right now. Thank you everyone, for checking in on us. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee! And forever in my heart: Tipper, Sissy, Chancy, Marla, Dazzle, Alimony, and Boo. This list is too damned long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomDoggy Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Wow!!! they wanted Darius to stay for 2 days...which he didn't, he is better home with me. He did spend one night. The vet isn't a 24-hour place, so she's better off home with me (I'm a feather-light sleeper, especially when I'm concerned about my pets). She is also terribly shy, so staying in a strange place overnight would probably stress her more than necessary. She's still snoozing comfortably. I had to wake her 30 minutes ago to give her a pain med, wrapped in a cold ball of peanut butter. She's still waaaay out of it, so I was thankful that she swallowed it fine. She also had a few laps of water earlier, and no coughing so far. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee! And forever in my heart: Tipper, Sissy, Chancy, Marla, Dazzle, Alimony, and Boo.

Guest Naty Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 That was quick - Troy had to stay over for a couple of nights. I remember checking his temperature every couple of hours for the first 2 days. He didn't eat until the 2nd day so if Chancy's appetite isn't back tomorrow, don't get alarmed. Once she starts eating, you won't keep up making those meatballs. Continued best wishes for her recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once she starts eating, you won't keep up making those meatballs. Continued best wishes for her recovery. My vet called me back a few hours ago to check on Chancy, and to let me know that he'd spoken to the surgeon about waiting until morning for food. The surgeon said that as long as Chancy was "very alert" and not woozy, I could offer a small amount of food to start with. So I gave her a few smallish meatballs with her evening meds. She didn't hesitate, and swallowed them with no problem. : If those seem to stay down well, I'll give her a few more before bedtime. Have I mentioned how much I like this vet? I've been so disappointed with so many of my vet experiences over the last few years, it's nice to have a positive experience for a change. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!
