The sweater Bob and Ryan got is pretty neat. It has multi color stripes and a cut out piece of felt in the shape of a bone on her back. Red one is on its way...but not here yet. I'll get you a picture of this sweater.:)Quote:

Ooooo...what a cool idea....then one of you can take her outside in the thirty degree weather!!!
"I'm getting mighty jealous. :rolleyes::rolleyes:"
No need to get jealous......there are enough hours in a day that each one of us can take a turn, Addy!
Okay kids. I think I answered all your questions....if not, send 'em on again!
Vet was "taken" with Bailey. She thinks she is so cute and, of course, she is right. :) She weighed in at 2 pounds, six ounces. :eek: A bit of a weight loss, but she's eating better now. Vet was not concerned about the weight loss....just wanted to be sure she was getting fed 3X/day. She gave Bailey two shots in another room after asking me if I wanted to be present when she did it. I did not....not this time. I always have been there with my pets for every shot but I was worried how she might scream and I didn't want to damage my psyche. :) Besides-the last shot I was present for was the last one for Palmer. :(:( I was a little worried, truly, about how this one might bother me. Vet says she did not make a noise for the first one and just yelped a second for the second one. :)
We came home, Bob and Ryan went out, and Bailey and I napped in the downstairs recliner. She went from being bouncy before the vet to "crashing" after the vet. They returned, we all ate lunch and Bailey and I resumed our napping. She doesn't play "around" much yet. She mostly wants to munch on a finger or chew on a stick. I know we have to watch about the "biting" but she seems to know already to be gentle. If it gets a tad "rough" I just yelp. Then she stops.
She likes glasses (the frames), buttons, zippers and my earrings to chew on. Today she did some "digging" while she was on my chest. I'm not sure what that is about...but it was just for a moment.
So here I am....and it's 2:15 already. I could STILL take a nap!!
Thanks to each and every one of you for your suggestions and your humor. I think we need to have Carrol and Addy examined!:rolleyes::rolleyes::D
S'long for now.
Love,
Susan
That's for sure! :DQuote:

Susan, you can try adding a warm water bottle to her "bed". Wrapped up carefully of course. Don't use the rubber ones, they are easy to chew. The warmth and the shape to cuddle up against, reminds her of her mom and should help her ease and sleep through the night (apart from pee breaks) :)
And my personal opinion is that she should be fed 4 times a day for now till she is 3 months old. After that she can be fed 3 times a day till she is six months old. Then you can go to twice daily feeding...
Give the little thing a hug,
Sas and Yunah :)
:) Thanks Sas! I'll try this if she remains unsettled for the next day or two. And I am glad to feed her 4 times a day......but there are only certain times when she'll eat. Sometimes she is just not interested.
She had a little rice and a little chicken mixed in with her kibble tonight. She ate the most I've ever seen her eat!:):):D She may have trouble getting around until some of it gets digested.;);) (just kidding)

Hey Carrol-
How is Sparky doing?
-s
Thanks for asking, Susan!
Spoke to the vet On Monday night. Here is what he said:
He expected BS to be high while liver is regenerating. He explained it as the liver putting out more glucose (apparently the liver does this) in response to its own call for help from the body to help the repair. He is not concerned, right now with the higher numbers (only if they were to fall drastically) and was not worried. He said no increase in insulin right now (although we may do that once we have a chance to see where we are after the new food and the regeneration of the liver.)
I told him the calories are the same per cup in new food as in old food. He said that may be but it is what makes up those calories that can make the difference. He said to get him onto the new food asap as I have been transitioning him over the past few days with no problem. The only thing is he seems to be hungry after his meal, looking into everyone's bowl!
He said we will repeat the liver enzymes in a couple of weeks and then I will do a curve at home. We will then review the whole package and see what revisions may be necessary.
Sparky has come out of the "slump" he was in when he started to lose his vision. The fence is now up around the pool (he is marking all along the fence now!!!) and he actually runs outside. He still sticks his but in Grover's face to show him who is boss. He is very vocal when he wants or disapproves of something. His appetite is very good and he gets up to all his favorite napping places.
A couple of days ago he was peeing and drinking excessively but that has subsided.
The redness in the eyes has subsided since we started using the eye drops.
All in all, I think we will get back to normal whatever "normal" is anymore!
