FountainLady Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 You can try scrambling up eggs with some cheese in them .... they will usually gobble them right up when they won't eat other things.

4My2Greys Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 *****UPDATE Thursday Morning***** I wasn't planning on staying long, because I didn't want to bother her, but she was ended up taking some nice deep breaths and sighs and sleeping sound soundly, that I stayed with her until we transferred her to the after hours clinic... so I was with her for 4.5 hours. Bother her....your presence is one of the greatest healing gifts you can give her. Best wishes to her for a full recovery.

LadyBailey Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 ****Update 12:30**** This will be short, I don't want to be away from her for too long. She is home and looks okay. She actually drove home standing with her head out the window. That's what she lives for - car rides. I use Carrier's ramp to help her out of the car - didn't think that I would be pulling that out quite so soon. She walked to the back door and no problem getting up the two stairs on the porch. walked into the kitchen and straight to the water bowl. I allowed her a little bit at a time and then offered her some chicken & broth baby food. She had a bit... and would you know the only way she would eat it was out of hand... just like her brother It I made her a few comfy beds around the house but she was having trouble getting down on her own, so I tucked her bum down and managed to get her to lay down. She has been sleeping since 11:15 with me beside her on the floor. Once i move my hand she paws for me. breaks my heart. I am cooking some rice for her now and will try the cooked meat as well. I have rice, chicken, beef, pumpkin, baby chicken food, ensure and bananas on hand. will let you know how we make out. Her eyes are bright and alert which is a good sign.

I'm glad she's home and doing okay!!!!! just curious, when Nube bloated (and had the same surgery done, or at least the gastroplexy part) he was only allowed the Science Diet wet food (the one that's easy to digest, maybe called K & D? -- it's mostly rice if I remember correctly).....

LadyBailey Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 just curious, when Nube bloated (and had the same surgery done, or at least the gastroplexy part) he was only allowed the Science Diet wet food (the one that's easy to digest, maybe called K & D? -- it's mostly rice if I remember correctly)..... The vet told me she can stay on her regular diet - which is raw, but for the next few days she should be eating bland foods. I have a call into the lady that make the dog food to see what alterations we can make in the future for Bailey's food. *****UPDATE Thursday Morning***** I wasn't planning on staying long, because I didn't want to bother her, but she was ended up taking some nice deep breaths and sighs and sleeping sound soundly, that I stayed with her until we transferred her to the after hours clinic... so I was with her for 4.5 hours.

Judy, Mom of Nadir, Beanie, and Bruiser You are right, I think it help her a lot. But sometimes I find that they anxious when you see them in that state and all they want to do is get up and go home... which at that time she wasn't ready. I am glad I was able to stay with her for so long and even drive her with the vet tech to the after hours clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I am so glad to hear she is home! I am sure she will start to feel better at home In addition to the foods you have, you might want to add canned tripe if you can get it. Very nutritious and very stinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaineysMom Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) continuing to send prayers for your Bailey!!!! :hope I know Nube had an incision about 14 inches long and was bruised terribly after his surgery. It was 2 weeks before we let him go upstairs (we have a tri-level so we lived on one level) and finally stay by himself in his crate while we were back at work (I was lucky, I was able to work from home and/or take vacation days). Needless to say I was probably over-protective and over-paranoid sending more hugs to you guys! :bighug eta to fix my emoticons Edited August 8, 2008 by RaineysMom Quote Kim and Bruce - with Rick (Rick Roufus 6/30/16) and missing my sweet greyhound Angels Rainey (LG's Rainey 10/4/2000 - 3/8/2011), Anubis (RJ's Saint Nick 12/25/2001 - 9/12/12) and Zeke (Hey Who Whiz It 4/6/2009 - 7/20/2020) and Larry (PTL Laroach 2/24/2007 - 8/2/2020) -- and Chester (Lab) (8/31/1990 - 5/3/2005), Captain (Schipperke) (10/12/1992 - 6/13/2005) and Remy (GSP) (?/?/1998 - 1/6/2005) at the bridge"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.
