Experience of anorexic dog? Anyone?

I wish I could be there to hold your hand.

I wish I could be there to hold your hand.

Thanks. This definitely isn't the best time I've had.

Oh God. <3

Just spoke to the hospital. No results back today but he's eaten 3 meals of just chicken by himself today - no syringe feeds! I can't tell you how happy that makes me!!!

 

[Guspuppy]

YES! Hope this is a sign of things to come!!!

 

[Sonya-m]

I hope so. They've also extended the time between pain meds to 8 hrs from 6 so only getting it 3 times now instead of 4. He's barking for attention and pawing at his kennel so seems a lot more alert.

That's such a promising sign my fingers are crossed for you both!

I'll keep pulling for ya from this side of the pond.

I'm so thrilled for your (moderately) good news! I've been wondering all day how he's doing. I hope this is the beginning of a quick recovery!

 

[TeresaT]

Yay!! That's good news. I hope he continues to take baby steps in his recovery. Barking, pawing, seeking attention (and eating on his own) all sound like wonderful signs of him getting back to normal. It's not going to happen over night, but I think any show of improvement is a good thing.

I'm hoping that this is a sign that Buster is turning a corner.

 

[Cindy2428]

Yea!!!!!

 

[Sonya-m]

They've just called to say they're discharging him tonight! I feel nervous that they are but I have to trust that they're doing the right thing for him. Everything they've done so far for him has been the right thing.

 

[crispysoap]

Wow what fantastic news! I'm sure being home will be a big boost for him as well.

 

[Rowan]

Sonya, that's amazing news. I'm so happy for you. They are our family and its devastating when they are so unwell. Look after yourselves

I am so pleased, have been keeping my fingers crossed for you both!

From my own experience the first couple of days at home are always tricky as its such a worry when you have to do all the things the nurses were doing for him but he will feel better in his own home and with you.

Really glad he is coming home for the weekend - let us know how you get on when he gets home.

 

[dibbles]

The best news ever. So happy for you!!

 

[BlackDog]

That is FANTASTIC!! Be sure to prescribe extra snuggles and ear scratches.

 

[dixiedragon]

Great to hear!

 

[Sonya-m]

I didn't think we would see this again - home at last, out enjoying the garden.
