RobinM Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Polli did well last night. She didn't eat great but she ate. Prob 1/2 cup kibble 1/4 cup of wet and A LOT of boiled chicken breast. So I can not complain. I was told that a cancer patient needs to eat. Not to worry about what as long as there is a decent amount. She seemed more comfortable last night and dare I say that when I was acting like my normal wack a doo self with Polli, I saw the beginning of a tail wag? Not completely, almost like testing to see if it worked. My heart soared. DH say, see I told you. This morning when took her out back to pee and poop, her speed was noticably better and she did a tiny bit of explorating rather than pee/poop come right back in. She even tried to do one step, did it and then didn't want to. I offered her the steps again. She didn't want to. I said "OK, no problem" I picked her up, she came in and got her cookie -which she promptly dropped - and that is normal here too. Day 9 looks like it's going to be a GREYT day!

greyhndz Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 So glad to hear that Polli and Mommy are healing on the outside and on the inside. I'd bet for Polli, a lot of her progress from now on is going to come from confidence - every "new" step she takes is going to boost her confidence and give her the courage to try another new step. She's just trying to figure out how to do the "same old stuff" in the new body! I don't know if your steps are skid-proof or not, Robin, but if she isn't sure-footed on the steps, or deck, or any other surface, maybe rubber matting or stick-on non-skid treads for steps, the deck, etc. might help. You go, girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFullHouse Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Wonderful! Try 4 or 5 small meals during the day. There may be a time of day when she is hungrier than others and you may get a good meal down her then. Like everyone else has said, baby steps forward!
