krissn333 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Ace wasn't feeling like eating the other day, for whatever reason she refused her breakfast and her dinner...I had a little carton of Bil-Jac liver treats, and she ate a few of those, might be worth a try, but they're kind of rich so eating lots of them might not be a good idea...but, worth a shot.

AngelWhispers Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Steve, you're wonderful! Denise, what a guy! Listen, I have a bunch of satin ball patties I had made for Emmy and they're in the freezer. If you think Brooke will eat them you're more than welcome to them! I can have Kevin meet you at the same exit we picked up Joey at and you can get them. They're just sitting in the freezer. Just let me know. Thank you Judy for the satin ball offer, right now I have a freezer full that I keep on hand for "Picky Patsie". I tried on Sat. to get Brooke to eat some, she took maybe 3 small bites, burbed in my face and refused anymore. I'm going to take some to her Mon. and give it another try, along with an arsenal of other goodies. And if worse comes to worse I'll run down the street to Sonic and get me an iced latte with extra whip cream. Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.

AngelWhispers Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I just returned from visiting Brooke all day. When I got there this morning they had her up standing in a bucket of hot water and had an IV going with dextrose, and the vet tech was trying to get her to eat canned cat food, but she wasn't eating. I popped open a small can of Innova Venison and she ate it and wanted some more. Dummy me only took one can, so I gave her a small can of Turkey. When she was done with her leg soak and IV she was exhausted so I put her to bed in the kennel and sat with her until she went to sleep. I took a break and left the office for a little while and called Judy for a chat, then went back to the office. Brooke was awake with her head laying on her stuffy. I asked her if she wanted to go outside and bless her heart she got up on her own. I put a leash on her and she drug me to the front door and we took a short walk and she peed a river. Then she came in and wolfed down another can of food. I left instructions with the kennel person on how to fix her dinner tonight, hopefully she'll follow my instructions and Brooke will eat for her. Brooke is so thin now and all the staff is concerned because she won't eat unless I'm there to hand feed her. Brooke is putting her foot down, so I'm pleased with how she's improved since I saw her on Sat. The bruising on her thigh is gone, her incision looks good, but she's still getting a lot of blood down in her lower leg. The vet said he removed 2 quarts of blood from her lower leg yesterday...I sure hope he was exaggerating. Brooke's kidney values are very elevated, so the vet is concerned about her kidneys. Her urine is dark orange and he said her creatinine is off the charts. The thoughts and prayers are working, my Boogers is slowly starting to improve. Now we just need to get her kidneys functioning properly and she can come home. The vet asked me to fix Brooke some chicken and rice and bring it in tomorrow. I'll update tomorrow evening, hopefully with more good news. Thanks everyone!! Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.

AngelWhispers Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Denise I'm glad that she ate for you. How was her bedding when you got there? Sending gentle hugs you and Brooke. Her bed was dry! So I didn't have to rant and rave about it. I brought a cover for her bed just in case, and I left it there and told them to please change her bed if it's wet, because I had plenty of covers and there was no need for her to stay on a wet bed. Hopefully they "got" what I was saying. Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.
