The tech put a chair close to the cage so I could take her out far enough to hold her without disturbing her IV. I thought they were going to remove it if she ate but they said not yet. She just licked and licked my arm. She is still very weak but soooo much better than she was. It's amazing how well she is doing. God is good to me again! If she has a good night and no seizures, I get to bring her home tomorrow evening. I hope so, but I'm also a little scared that she'll need more care than I can give her. She'll be home alone all day except for the hour around 1:00 when I always go home to potty her and play for awhile.

Keep up the prayers everyone. She is sooo much better but she still needs to get lots more healthy. Tonight they are going to feed her some baby food chicken and rice. She never liked it before and I told them that but they are going to try it anyway.

They should just give her a bully stick - that would perk her up right now!

a pillowcase on her head and her frog in her mouth???? that just puts the funniest picture in my mind LOL

Glad to hear she is doing so much better. Hopefully she'll eat some solid food and then the IV can be taken out.

Can't wait to read an update when i get out of work tonight!

yay Tink!

I am so thankful that little Tink is better! Poor baby ... I know the things you left for her makes her feel better .... I can just picture her with her pillowcase & frog! Our vet always says, there is no medicine like Mommy's lap! Hope you are snuggling together soon!

I will continue to pray that she is all well soon and home with you!

Gingergirlsmom · 07-12-2007, 04:02 AM

oh my, happy tears....

I'm so glad Tink is doing better. Whoever had the idea of boarding her at the vets is BRILLIANT. I know how much you'd worry leaving her alone. I'll continue to keep you and Tink in my thoughts and prayers, hoping for a full recovery and the chance to bring her home with you.

Go Tink!!!!!

And Bernie sends is love and would like to remind Tink that hes only about 9 mos. older than she is

I'm so happy to hear that Tink is feeling better, still sending prayers your way for a full recovery!

TLC · 07-12-2007, 01:06 PM

WOW - I just saw this now and I read through it all.

I am praying that Tink continues to improve.

Tink's Mom · 07-12-2007, 03:56 PM

I called this morning and she had another seizure last night. Why is it always at night? Do you think she could be having them during the day too but they just don't notice since they are so much busier? I'm gonna ask when I go visit in a little bit. BUT, she did eat today!

She drank some more broth - a whole 1/3 cup during the day and ate 2 tablespoons of baby food and 3 pieces of kibble! She's gonna get her weight back!

They are gonna take the IV out tonight after I leave if she poops. Poop Tink, Poop! I told them to give her some pumpkin and they said not yet. Sigh!

So, I'm gonna go now and spend some time with her and see if she will stand up for me. The tech said she slept inside the pillowcase today

How odd! She will NOT give up her frog even to eat so I imagine it needs a bath badly.

I called my vet and they will board her for $15 a day. So that's what we are going to do next week. My friend Deb doesn't board unless it's her patient - thanks for the thought Lori.

So, I'll post more later. But I think we're getting there. I will find out tonight if she gets to come home tomorrow night! I sure hope so.

Oh BTW, barky Dixie baby is back with her mother (whew). It was nice to have her for awhile but mercy!

Mitzis Mom · 07-12-2007, 04:00 PM

We are sooooo glad to hear that Tinkerbaby is making progress! Mitzi sends lots and lots of kisses!
