That flagyl is disgusting. I went with the vets advice for the first two days, but I couldn't STAND seeing her fling around and almost hurt herself twice. I now put it in bananas. She eats that, but since last night, she will NOT eat her kibble. Not with parmesan, not with anything. She wouldn't even take her favorite apples out of my hand UNTIL I had calmed her down. She took a kix that was under my daughters desk and ran like the wind to behind the couch.

I get what this means, and yeah, I'm tearing up. I just got her her favorite soft food whole farms, and I know that I can re-add her kibble slowly over a few days. It's the loss of trust that has me upset. WHAT do I do with this situation? I was told about IAMS gravy and my husband was sent back out after I spoke to the trainer to get that and carrot juice. I'll try both for her last 3 doses, but, like I said, if treats are supposed to create good feelings, what do I do when those cause anxiety? She DID calm down a bit for a potato chip and her apple/bacon special treat. Last night during training she had to have her treats mashed up before she'd eat them. If I didn't know any better, based on the fact that she's eating softer foods with no issues, I'd say her mouth was sore. She ate half of the apple from my hand after it had softened up. She won't let me look. THAT isn't abnormal, though. Mouth and ears- no. Ears for me, only. Mouth we are still working on.

I know she's hungry. She was already iffy about eating, and still shows signs of shying away from hubby during the one time a day he feeds her.

I'll stop babbling, she was just a great eater, and now THIS happens. I have great vets. I do. They know their stuff, and they are fantastic about looking after my girl. However, they think that 'babying' will make things worse. I tried their way, and it made it worse. Pill form if it doesn't clear up, but it won't change this.
