Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

After getting Lily Home on Tuesday, after her pee break, a few bites of food and wanting out, she decided to settle into her carrier, and gave herself a nice long bath before falling off to sleep. She had to wash off the hospital  stay. I was a happy woman on Tuesday on  my way to pick my baby girl up. Lily Bit slept in her carrier,  last night. I guess the tightness is  a comfort for her.  I closed off the doors so that she needed  to stay in the room I am in. I want to  keep an eye on her to be sure she eats and drinks, make sure she don't throw up.   As of Wed., around four pm. Lily has had four small meals. She is keeping the  food and water down. She is right now hanging at the window looking out. I tear up and then I smile and dance around the room when she eats! Lily started this journey at  nine years of age (got cha date was in June), and at a whopping weight of 7.4. Yep, the vet asked me was she always so little. She always has...

  Lily update~ Sunday, I was getting more and more concerned. She still was not eating or drinking. Several times however, I put a  small amount of water in a syringe and made her take water. Twice, I mixed up food and water and did the same thing. Not a lot, but a tiny bit, just so she was getting something. But I was really worried. Off to Vet ER and Hosp. I took the test results from the  other vet and the meds she has been given. Looking at everything, they decided to run labs again to see if there was  any change. I was glad they did cause the day they did Lily's labs, they  said they had a lot of labs to do that day and I was afraid that they got them mixed up. Labs, everything was normal. Another xray, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, everything was  NORMAL. NORMAL! But she was not eating and or dinking. so, they wanted to sedate her and  check her mouth, gums and tongue. All that was fine. She actually has poop that is right at the back d...

On Friday Lily did great, but Saturday she was back to wanting to be alone, still has not eaten and  was not drinking. Back to the vet.  Another IV of fluid and some meds to make her hungry. Not better come Monday,  I am finding another vet. I don't know what else to do. Sunday, still not my Lily. I  am pretty sure I am losing her  and it is killing me.  No vets open today, just ER in  Nashville. Come Monday I will  be taking her to Dr. King,  her and Dakota's vet in Nashville. Funny thing is, she don't look weak, does not appear to be weak when she is up moving around. She allowed me to sit with her and rub her head for a bit this  morning. Now, she is in the glider on the deck, listening to the rain fall. Remember these jokers I took off my tomato plants? They had to go, but I had no clue that this is what they  turn into. A hummingbird moth. Between my plants and Amber's plants, I killed off about 15 if not more. OOPS... I went t...
