 Update on Cricket
Well, Miss Cricket is not eating well today. I can get her to eat small amounts of chicken baby food and she is drinking water some. I am giving her Nutrical 3 times a day and about 1cc of water in addition to the few laps of water she takes 3 times a day. Does that sound like enough water to you? She weighs not quite 2 lbs and I don't want to give her too much water. She drinks it well for me so I am not having to force feeding her it.
My main concern is that she hasn't pooped since I brought her home from the hospital yesterday. Of course she fasted on Wed. for the acid bile test and was in the hospital in Dallas until yesterday afternoon. I know she was on IV's since Wed night until yesterday when I picked her up so I don't know if that is to be expected or not. My vet called again today to check on her and he was encouraged that she hasn't had any seizures and is hoping the swelling in her barin is mild. If that is the case then he is feels a little most encouraged that the meds. might help. She is still bright-eyed and has been trying to move some. She is still far from back to normal but I will take anything positive at this point. We had a little talk last night and I promised her we would face this together and we would get better together. I give her lots of love and kisses but at the same time I let her stay in a quiet place and she sleeps alot too. She slept like a rock last night with me snuggling her.
Thanks for thinking of us.
