Today when talking to the vet about how stanza was doing we decided that, although she's not yet eating on her own, I could feed her at home instead of her staying there. So, off to Maple Creek to pick her up. That meant I had to cancel meeting up with Dale Anne Potter at 3Pm as they requested me to be there at 2 pm and it's a 1.5 hr drive each way. Once I learned how to feed her when she wouldn't eat on her own and how to add fluids if not drinking, we headed for home. Once home, we tried the feeding routine, not really a fun event for either of us, but she started licking it off my fingers which was an improvement. Later on she decided she would try eating out of her dish.and has continued to do so. A phone call to the vet to let her know things were going so well. A big relief to know Stanza is glad to be home and settling into her routine. I am feeling a bit of a meany by not letting her mooch or have treats - she has to stay on the special diet food to make sure she doesn't get her system upset again.
Stanza thanks everyone for their concern for her and support for her owner during this trying time!
