I put honey on her gums. I've only had her a week but until last night she was
in a rubbermaid tub as well. I do leave a bowl of softened food in her crate at
night as well. Talked to the vet about that. He said a few hours at night wont
hurt it at all. I cant keep mine in my room as neither me or my husband will
get any sleep. I hope mine does well tonight.
Thanks!!
