 Juliet is well now, thank you.
I called the vet this morning, they say I did everything right last night and gave me instructions for the day. Juliet vomited liquid and foam for two hours straight, diahrrea during the worst of it. I never knew what caused it, but she did visit with the little neighbor girls yesterday and possibly got a Halloween treat. Juliet likes ice, and otherwise she GULPS water, her normal gung-ho behavior. So I offered her on an ice cube and let her take a few licks, then waited ten minutes. Once she could go 10 minutes without vomiting, I allowed her more licks. This made her feel so much better. A little bottom bath, a tinkle stop, then we went back to bed. She woke up starving, and after some Nutrical, I fed her soft overcooked rice - made with chicken broth and water. She has tolerated this well today and drinks water freely. She's slinging her toys around and is as bouncy as ever tonight, albiet a little thinner. After a day of rest for her tummy, tomorrow Juliet will go back to her normal hard food. If she seemed wimpy or still not well, she would have gone to the vet today, in fact I got two check-up calls from their office today. Thank you all so much for your concern. |
