Hi everyone! I'm smiling here! Maddie is doing SOOO much better today! The vet was right when he told me that! She's even wanting to play and I gave her a bath and she smells sweet again and that has to make her feel better too! We even slept last night! It felt so good and she didn't wake me until 6 and I had the alarm set for 6:15, so that was okay! She ate her W/D food and didn't seem too excited about it, but she was probably so hungry, she'd eat anything. I hope she continues to eat it so I don't have to be coaxing her again!
She'll continue on the pepto bismol for 5 more days and 7 more days of the medicine. I have to tell you...it's impossible to get Maddie to take a pill. Last week when she saw that other vet, and the vet was going to give her her first pill, she tried and tried...ruining 2 pills in the process. Yesterday with our vet, I told him it's impossible to force a pill on Maddie and he said, "I'll show you how it's done"...he tried and tried and ruined 2 pills and finally gave up. LOL After all, Maddie is the little puppy that isn't welcome back at the grooming parlor...she'll fight it tooth and nail. I take those baby food chicken fingers and break a small piece off and put the pill inside and she takes it fine that way. My vet said I'll just have to continue doing it that way because Maddie makes it impossible. haha.
Thanks for all the well wishes and I appreciate all of you so much! Prettypuppypink...thanks so much for all the info! I am going to print it out so I have it for reference and also will show my vet!
Hope you all have a great weekend...it's beautiful here and that sunshine does a body good. Maddie says thanks and sends puppy kisses! |
