Thank you Mitzi. When we got home from the vet it was 430pm. I gave her the
meds then, she ate a few morsels of food but then we had to leave. We got home
about 930 pm and she was running around after us. She is not laying on my chest
on her side, not curled up like normal. I did not give her another dose of meds
as I thought it was to soon. Not sure if she will eat anything right now as she
is tire. I'm about ready to put her to bed so I can get some sleep, or try to
get some sleep as I will worry about her all night.
I wonder if I should rub a little honey on her gums before going to bed in case
she doesnt eat. The vet did tell me if I'm crushing and softening her food that
eat feeding a teaspoon or 2 is about all she could handle for her size so to
feed her at least 5 times or six of a meal that size. I hope she regains that
appetite she had she had 4 days ago.
