As soon as he got hot he felt so sick, thought he was going to throw up and needed to put something cold against his head. Thankfully I had just gone grocery shopping before picking him up and had some frozen vegetables on hand! He felt better right away.
So, when I saw Puddy's pics, this is what came to mind. Do you think that she might be dealing with nausea? It could be a reaction to the new meds. Maybe you could ask your vet about this possibility and there might be a safe anti-nausea med or something holisitic she could take that might help turn her around that also wouldn't harm her if that isn't what she's dealing with.
Sorry if this post isn't making much sense, it's 2:00a.m. and I should be in bed. lol
You've made perfect sense, Lara. Dr. Lee told me long ago that part of CRF is the nausea that goes w/it, so that's a possibility. However, the aluminum hydroxide that I give her twice a day is a phosphorous binder but it's also an antacid, which he said should help w/the nausea. I may ask the other vet about giving her something else today. I just hate to shove more things down this poor girl's throat, y'know? She just finished her antibiotic. There is a powerful ceiling fan in her room and, even if she's in the bathroom on the countertop, it's close enough that she feels the breeze from it. There's really no place to put another fan, even a small one, in that bathroom. It's so small you have to go into the hallway to change your mind. I was up several times during the night checking on her because I feel so bad that she sleeps on that cold, hard surface. She came into my room this morning and woke me up for a noggin noogie and laid on my chest for a few minutes. So that's something, at least.

Btw, I hope your hubby is feeling better now.
