You guys can completely ignore this but I decided to keep a journal of exactly what Sakari is doing mostly for me but for anyone who has feedback or input. It'll help me keep track of what she's doing. She's supposed to get about 5 tbsp of the nutrical a day
So starting from this evening:
4:50 p.m. she pees
5 p.m. 1000mL of subq fluids and 1.5 tbsp nutrical
5:50 gives me a big smile
6 p.m. 1.5 tbsp nutrical and a small drink of water
no vomiting yet
7 p.m. 1 tbsp of nutrical in her mouth and one on her paws - two total. Noted that she had finished her 1/4 cup of water so she got another 1/4 she's quite perky. I'm going to feed Fiona and then take Sakari for a pee break.
8 p.m. quick walk. She peed. It was clear. She trotted a bit when she saw sylvester on the road and wanted to go back out into the yard but I brought her in and gave her another tbsp of nutrical and soem water. She ate and drank both. The water was about another 1/4 c.
I think that's about all the nutrical she needs for today so I'm going to try to get some of the canned stuff into her next time I give her some food.
10 I gave her about 2 tsps of canned food on her paws. She licked it and even licked a bit off my fingers for the first time! BUT she doesn't like it as much as the nutrical. And it's not sticky so it's hard to keep on her paws. Sometimes she just shakes it off so I wet it a bit and mooshed it into her fur and she's been licking it off.
Just checked on her and she finished licking it off and was having some more water. I'm leaving in about half an hour to pick up steve so I'll take her out for a pee and then when I get back I'll try to get her to eat the rest of the can.
I put her out in the yard for a bit and she was good. I dont think she threw up but I wasn't watchign her the whole time. I did get the rest of the half can into her so yay! I think she's getting tired of me rubbing food on her feet but oh well. She's still eating it.
So today she had 5 Tbsp of nutrical and half a small can of canned food.
Tomorrow's goal is 5 Tbsps of nutrical (at least) and a whole small can of food.
