Can We Breathe Yet?
Well it’s now been over 48 hours since our last dose of Cerenia (anti-nausea medicine) and he’s still eating and not vomiting. That’s a good sign I hope.
He’s still not eating as much as the vet would like. But he is eating. I’m trying not to push food on him and trying hard not to bribe him because I don’t want a pick eater down the road. He does seem to want his kibble back, so he’s convinced me to introduce it faster than I’d like. I also can usually get a few more bites of the canned food in him feeding it to him with a fork — it only lasts 3 or 4 more bites and they can’t be big bites, but hey it’s something. He’s on to me when it comes to trying to disguise pills with food.
The vet called this morning and his WBC was back to normal (16K — down from 30K). His RBC was a little low but his concentration was good.
He’s acting like a puppy again and is getting harder and harder to keep him calm. He wants to play with Cisco and toys and he’s got tail wags and kisses for anyone he meets.
I set up a Skype account to auto answer video chat and set the laptop up to view the dogs so I could check in on Riot throughout the day. He seemed comfortable and slept most of the day.
We’re back to the vet tomorrow for a weight check.
