I hope she's doing better by now but if not, some nausea medication might help per the vet and know your real challenge ahead is going to be keeping a Yorkshire Terrier from overdoing! Can't say I envy you that job. Oh my! Have you tried one of Ladyjane's strollers to keep her nearby but relatively in enforced inactivity for period of time. I used to just sit with mine in my lap for hours on end but a terrier tires of that soon enough. Here's hoping Bella will accommodate to her new circumstances sooner rather than later, poor baby. Bella, feel better soon, little one! |
Thanks for the tips! Bella ate a half cup of her food so far today and has shown no more signs of nausea or wanting to throw up. She's still not drinking as much as I'd like her to, but she's showing no signs of dehydration. She turned up her nose at Pedialyte, but when I dropped in a couple of ice cubes, she took a few laps of that. I'm going to take her out of her crate and give her some broth water soon. I have a stroller, but knowing her, she will be just as impatient as she is in her x-pen. The weather is supposed to warm up soon though, and I plan to take her outdoors in the stroller then. Bella is definitely not a lap dog--that doesn't mean that she doesn't like laps, though. She loves to use them as launching pads for getting on and off the couch, which is a no-no. She's already snuck onto the couch a couple of times during the past couple of days, the little scamp.
Okay, it's broth time!
