Ask your vet about giving her simethecon for gas. There are baby drop
versions of Gas X that can be used. I used them with Kitty Katt when
she permitted and it helped. Pepsid also helped with
discomfort.

from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their fellow
man.

Subject: Lucy update
Well, Lucy ate 3 jars of turkey baby food today, with her raw food
supplements mixed in, and ate a couple of handfuls of cooked turkey and duck,
all of which combined should be a normal amount of daily calories, I think
(the baby food alone is 240 calories for 3 jars). Her weight is back
up over 8 pounds too. Also, after not moving her bowels
for 24 hours, she had a soft but solid stool. But now she
seems uncomfortable and bit out of it, and her stomach is making very loud
rumbling and gurgling noises, which i guess is all the baby food wreaking
havoc on her gut. I feel bad for giving it to her, knowing she does not
digest it well, but she really wanted to eat it and she just would not eat
enough of the stuff that doesn't bother her. Perhaps in that situation I
should force-feed her raw food instead of feeding her the baby food? I
am expecting she will probably be sick in the middle of the night like she was
2 weeks ago when all she would eat for a day was baby food, as the pred was
kicking in.
Yes, I definitely plan to take her to the internist. I wish it
could wait until Gray gets home from China so he can help me with her though.
My mom offered to drive so I can pet Lucy in the car, which I will take her up
on, but she is a very nervous person, which is not always very helpful in
these situations, unlike Gray who is like the Buddha himself. But at
this point I feel like I want to take her soon, and don't want to wait.
