BRODIE is HOME -> (AGAIN) Still Needs Your Prayers!

**orangemm** · 03-19-2006, 01:31 PM

Good boy, Brodie!! You keep on the way you are, and I'll keep praying for you!!

Little bits, little by little!

Well, the day isn't over yet, but so far, it's been ANOTHER Vomit Free Day! Fingers crossed for 2 in a row!

16 kibbles has been the most he's eaten at once. I tried to get him to eat 20 at one time but he turned his nose up at that one and refused to eat. Guess he wasn't hungry. So I waited and then he did eat the wet food at 7:30. I will give him some more kibble tonight before bed. Might try the 20 pieces again.

That's definitely progress from the 5 or 6 that I was giving him yesterday!

Go Brodie! Go Brodie!

Very good update! I want to hear more updates like this!

Christa, do go giving him to much now, give his system time to get use to it and adjust before you up it to much... GO SLOW! Brodie is still in my thought and prayers!

Christa, this is wonderful news!!!

I hope that he'll be able to keep his food down and that you'll be able to gradually increase the amount. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Christa - I am excited for you that Brodie is doing so well - but do pace him! His tummy has likely shrunk over the last few weeks - I KNOW it is hard to not want him all better right now, but just go slow with the kibble, as Laura said.

He must be getting happier all the time!

LOL . . . I have been taking it slow. Trust me, 20 pieces isn't a lot. Especially with this new food. The *duck & pea* kibble is the tiniest little kibble I've ever seen anyway! Probably smaller than an actual pea!

We've gone TWO days with no vomiting! I'm so happy about that! Now I'm hoping to go for THREE!

Guess I spoke . . . or posted too soon.

He just threw up his breakfast . . . on my nice expensive braided rug.

I hope it comes out! I just scrubbed it with my SpotBot. See how it dries. If it doesn't, I'll just turn it over.

Well, 2 days was good anyway. I just hope that this isn't a MAJOR setback. I don't think it will be. I shouldn't have expected him to quit cold turkey. He was really bad off . . . I don't know, maybe I was pushing him too hard.

edit: Just puked up water too.

Oh my... I was so excited to read the posts of Brodie keeping his food down, and now another little setback. Come on Brodie! You can keep your food down! We know you are hungry, but you have to go slow little one. Keep the faith Christa! I know this is so hard on you and your husband. Please keep us posted.
