Wishing you a speedy recovery Miss Bella! |
She drank 4 tablespoons of water out of a measuring spoon, and she pooped on her potty pad for the first time! It was on the dry side, but she didn't have to strain to get it out. She's eaten a half cup of food, and I think she'd keep on eating if I let her, but I don't want her to gorge herself and then throw up, so I'll keep on feeding her a little at a time. She's feeling a little better, and I think the reason she whines when I put her back in her crate is because she wants to be out and play with us.
The vet also sent me home with Acepromazine to calm her if necessary. I haven't given her any yet because she is fairly calm still. How do people feel about Acepromazine?
