[QUOTE="Subion, post: 2024647, member: 114709"] Sorry for no update yesterday. It was a busy day and by time i remembered it was so late I was in bed lol. She didn’t take a nap that night at all until around 5pm when we wernt inside she was tired. She’s been going to bed around 6 or 7 so I let her go to bed and just woke her up for her meds and let her go back to sleep. Yesterday was her last dose of the cipro and she had 6ml injection of fluids again. If she does good over the weekend she won’t need to go back. She hasn’t wanted as much water to drink when getting up in the morning though last couple days. She was taking 4-5ml with her meds. Last 2 she only wants 1-2. Anyways time for some good news. On the way to the vet she got so warm in the car she tried to start climbing my car seat. I had to stop her and put her on me then she climbed me a bit ot get comfy. Her paw is looking a lot better and she actually is trying by to grip on and close her front paws when needing to rip on to things. With the swelling she couldn’t even move her toes to try to close them. After get though she wasn’t as active, I assume it was the shots making her sore. She did get a small nap in after we got home but the rest of the day she stayed awake and we spent about 80% of that time outside. She had been trying to walk some in the grass, still struggling with her legs and will move a bit then stop for along time before taking a few more steps. She even went potty and it’s almost back to having the shape to it, just slimy from all the fluids. She even walked away from where she went intraday of leaving her tell lay on it so I don’t have to clean her up after. She ate a good size chunk of watermelon on her own yesterday. I Havnt given her any crit care just been doing the slurries and grinding it up to a pure liquid for her right now. She didn’t want much of the first one that had some yellow squash in it. The second I replaced it with some sweet potato baby food and she really seemed to like it. I’ve been mixing it with water, kale, mustard greens and a little of her turkey in turkey broth baby food. I got some other stuff to mix in but I want to mix it up so she has different tastes every few days. Last night she was gaping more when we were outside she even would try to jump off me in to get on the ground like she use to. I’d put her in the shade and she’s be fine. Then before bed when going trough the hall to get her meds she would try to move like she was eyeing up the floor to jump from my shoulder. Then she really fought me when I tried to give her meds again. When I finally put her down to go to bed she wanted to climb out of it to get on my bed so I had to fight her to stay where she sleeps for a bit. She’s still not getting up in her own but as soon as I uncover her she is opening her eyes instead of laying there with them closed like she don’t want to get up. She’s definitely showed a good improvement yesterday so hopefully it keeps up and we’ll see how well she does without the injections this weekend. Just got to try to keep her hydrated without overdoing it. Here’s a few pics I took over last couple days also to show progress. [/QUOTE]
