Scarlet has not been drinking water lately. I put her bowl in front of her, but she just pushes it away with her nose. Well, I found a way to make her drink, with what else- treats!
This biscuit came from Moy's hooman GF ( Aki's Manang). I have to break this into small pieces though to prevent choking. 
By the time Scarlet finished the biscuit, she has drank all the water too. I have not seen her smile or look happy or wag her tail in a while. Poor Scarlet.
We're doing the exercises Shelly's Pop taught me. When I pinch her hind leg, I can feel a bit of resistance, she's actually pulling her leg away, but very weakly.
She presented me with a bit of poop today( even without the laxative), perhaps I will add more fiber in her diet so I can totally wean her off the medication.
What a great idea! Very clever! I will have to remember that.
ReplyDeleteI hope Scarlet gets better soon. I'm sad to hear that she seems down.
Please give her a big hug and kiss from us!
Kisses

Aww poor Scarlet, we have our paws crossed for her over here still.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good idea to get her to drink.

Hang in there Scarlet! I know it really sucks right now, but if you keep practicing your exercises, I just know you'll be back on your feet again.
