ZoomDoggy Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Well no major changes to report. No real progress, but no loss of ground either. Marla seems content to be syringe-fed for now. And now that I've returned her to her kibble & supplement diet (in liquid form, of course) her little bout of diarrhea has subsided. That's one small piece of good news, I guess. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee! And forever in my heart: Tipper, Sissy, Chancy, Marla, Dazzle, Alimony, and Boo.

ZoomDoggy Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have a tiny piece of good news: Last night Marla ate a small scoop of frozen yogurt, four tiny nibbles from my pepperoni pizza, and three spoonfuls of Auntie Carole's home-made doggie pasta salad. I'm still syringe-feeding her the kibble/supplement soup, but the fact she ate something without me shoving it into her, I call that progress, however minimal. She also had monster moose-dookeys on our am walk today, so I feel reassured that I'm giving her the volume of food she needs to try and regain some weight. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!

ZoomDoggy Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 A less good day today. Last night after I gave Marla her cipro and tramadol, I offered her a little frozen yogurt. But I accidentally let her swallow about a teaspoon of it whole, which caused her to vomit (the same happened last time I accidentally let her swallow ice cream, rather than just licking it). I was unable to identify either of the pills I'd just given her in the vomit, and feared ODing her if I re-pilled her. So I'm fairly certain in retrospect she didn't absorb the Tramadol, which resulted in a restless night. Marla stirred and repositioned herself often, and is breathing a little harder today. I hoped the morning dose of Tramadol would help, but hasn't so far. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee! And forever in my heart: Tipper, Sissy, Chancy, Marla, Dazzle, Alimony, and Boo.

Remolacha Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I was told when Sugar started taking Tramadol that she could have 1 OR 2, 6-8 hrs apart. A few times when she has seemed to still be uncomfortable, I've given her a second one, and it has helped. Not a vet, just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomDoggy Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I was forced to let my little Marla go tonight. Yesterday she was weaker, and had intermittant spells of wheezing. Today her breathing became very ragged and difficult, she couldn't breathe while laying down, and she stopped being able to hold down food and meds. I brought her in for new xrays, and it showed that the lung mass had grown huge, taking up most of one side of her ribcage and atached itself to her sternum. My poor little black velvet girlie, my little Marzie-doates... I'll create another remembrance thread later. I just can't bear it right now. ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!
