Good for dad in the nursing home where they all love him (Petie AND dad) and where today and yesterday he sat happily in dad's lap in the wheel chair while we went outside in 40 degree weather we haven't seen here in ME since Nov. Ordinarily he would want to get down and walk on his own.
I am vacillating between letting things run their course for a few days and taking him him tomorrow (also, my brother the vet arrives late Tues-- ok to wait until then??) Advice??? |
yes ok if not in pain to wait for brother - so sorry -- my girl is doing a little better each day but not 100% weight bearing - i spoke to vet today again and he thinks she injured ligaments but from what he felt he does not think it is a tear or rupture so i am giving it a bit more time. She is on rice and chicken still but her poo is not firm now
i switched from brown rice to white and put pumpkin and probiotics but still loose so will try some kibble tonight to see if she keeps it down.
It is such a bummer when they do not feel well and usually pumpkin and probiotics work so not sure if the white rice is culprit as was a little firmer with brown rice -- anyone have this experience ?
