Riot is eating more and more. I’m trying to slowly introduce his kibble back into his diet, but he wants nothing to do with the canned food. He’s all excited about food time until I put down the canned food. I put it down and get this look of disappointment from him. The last 3 or 4 meals he’s been asking for his kibble instead. Usually after he eats his kibble I can get some of the canned food to him feeding him with a fork. Yes, that’s right, I’m feeding Riot with a fork these days.
We went to the vet yesterday for a weight check. He was down 0.4 pounds. He’s still not eating his full amount of food, but we’re gradually increasing the amount he’s getting. His staples come out next Wednesday. So far, Riot does seem to notice that his belly is stapled shut and still will stretch out on his back. How that doesn’t hurt is beyond me.
Riot also got to come back and sleep in the bedroom 2 nights ago. We had tried initially, but he wouldn’t settle down in a crate in the bedroom and his cone was making quite the ruckus. Two nights ago, I threw a t-shirt on him and do far so good. He’s a lot more happy with his nightshirt on and he’s not bothering us with his cone, so it’s a win for everyone.
