Cali Update


Well, Cali seems so much better.  Of course, what is happening inside her body as this week wore on is a mystery to be revealed on Tuesday after another round of blood tests.  She rests a lot, but that is her job description.  'Rest, relax, eat, repeat.'

She still does not seem to enjoy her food.  I used to give it to her with a little water in it, warmed up a bit.  She would wolf it down, I mean to the point that I was considering getting those eater marbles to put in her bowl to slow her down.  Now, she picks slowly, gathers a kibble or two, then takes it to the carpet to sit down and crunch it.  She walks away after there is a big area of crunched kibbles with a Chihuahua ass shadow in it, without having eaten much at all.

So, today, I cooked some natural turkey breast, simmered it with fresh baby carrots, veined fresh celery, rice and broth, then blended it.  I gave her a tablespoon full.  Oh, my gosh, ecstasy was etched on her little furry face!  she kept it down, so I gave her some more two hours later.  Again, the enthusiasm.  So, I will continue on this route for a while to see if I can put back on a little of her lost weight.

Meanwhile, your thoughts, prayers, and inquiries about her health is appreciated.  I'll keep you posted.
