Guest MZH Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Maybe I missed something? I know they did exploratory surgery -- did they find anything? Having had abdominal (bowel) surgery 7 months ago I can tell you it takes a while to get to eating again. Sometimes the bowel just doesn't work again right away and there's generally no eating if that doesn't happen. Hang in; she'll probably be eating soon again. Best wishes!

Guest Vinnie Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 glad to hear she is huffing at you and feeling a bit better - keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers and sending more hugs and scritches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhndz Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Tina, I hope Cofax's smile, and wags and barking for mum let you believe in your heart that you and Bob made the right decision yesterday! She's clearly feeling so much better. This was wonderful news. That bed looks pretty comfy, too -- I'll be right up! Hugs to all of you... bring in some chicken soup, or boiled chicken, or baby meats - something you know she'll love. I'm sure she's on pain meds and/or antibiotics, and they can wreak havoc on her appetite. If she's doing better and they can ease up on the pain meds, she may be more likely to chow down a little. Hope she's home in her bed this time tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona3 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 This is such a promising update - Cofax seems to be feeling better. Maybe she will regain her appetite in baby-steps. A little chicken soup & broth, some boiled chicken & rice - easy bland things to comfort her stomach. You have a good plan in mind and I'm sure when she is home again her appetite will improve. We all look forward to more Cofax updates and photos of this sweetheart.

Rickiesmom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Different surgery entirely, but when my Rickie was in hospital he wouldn't eat for the staff. I went in twice per day with the most tempting things I could find. What did best was home-roasted turkey (skinless, no fat) and cold vanilla Ensure. But even then, he didn't eat a lot and refused things like tripe he'd gobble up at home. The hospital actually released him to come home a day early because of the eating issue. In spite of the pain meds etc., when that boy got home he ate like a starving animal. He just needed to be home. Hopefully when Cofax gets home she will eat much better for you too. I have been following this thread without posting, silently sending good wishes and prayers for your sweet girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
