Sorry for not updating sooner...my oldest daughter & her kiddies had been in town for our planned vacation when all of this happened with Sammy so, I stole away with them for a couple days to Sea World in San Diego.
My son kept me apprised of Sammy's condition while we were away. As much as I hate to get our hopes up without seeing a follow up lab report for Sammy...I almost think I see a slight tiche of the palest of pinks in her gums & the quick of her toe nails, too. I'm also afraid that my eyes are fooling me so, we'll wait till her next appointment on the 30th to see what her blood counts are then.
Here's what I do know for sure...Sammy's appetite is improving. My son is feeding her DogSure, boiled chicken & a few of her kibbles. She seems to prefer to just graze but, grazing is eating...so, that is good. Her weight actually went from 19.8 lbs. to 21.4 lbs, too. She's drinking fluids, lot's of water & DogSure in between meals. She's doing her regular potty business like before.
At first, she lay just in my son's bed and could barely lift her head up off of his comforter but, now she travels (still wobbly) on her own from his bed to lay beneath my chair in my office where she will rest for hours.
My son even carried Sammy to her park where she's used to running around on walks and let her just lay there in the grass to smell her old stomping grounds and feel the wind blow through her coat. He said he hoped that old familiar places might trigger a will to live or if nothing else, she could relive some good memories of days gone by.
So, for her appetite, weight gain & increased interest in her regular routines...I'm just going to say it...she's doing better! If not for all the Sammy prayers & her candles lit for her recovery...I wouldn't have believed my eyes! So, thank you to ALL who've sent prayers or positive thoughts Sammy's way...we
you!
Will continue Sammy's updates...
