Prayers for Pinot-SHE'S BACK TO HERSELF 4/29!

[Catty1]

More prayers for p'tit Pinot.

[Pinot's Mom]

I thank you all for your prayers and support; it means a lot.

Well, the vet visit was positive - her regular vet wasn't there, but we've seen the other as well, and they're both very good.

There seems to be no sinus trouble or congestion; could be a touch of spring allergens for the sneezing - nothing to worry about, no recurrence of the awful thing she had a year ago-whew!

The loose stools could be a variety of things, including food changes, she's got meds for that (for a week). The vet seemed to think it'll clear up soon, and remember this, "as there was no vomiting".

Appetite/food issues: we've got to figure out what she'll eat on a consistent basis - it could be a matter of moistening her dry food a bit to make it easier for her to eat. She has no tooth issues, they're great, she could just be going through a phase of wanting a change in her food (she's been a little - inconsistent - of late in whether she eats; and, since she normally gobbles her food in seconds flat, this was a concern). We'll continue to work on that.

She got a booster in her rabies vaccine, it was due and she seemed to be healthy enough for it.

Then, we got home: she threw up her dinner.

We're hoping this was due to the crating/ car ride/ thermometer you know where (which really ticked her off)/ rabies shot/ general upset in her routine. I'm going to keep it positive, as the vet wasn't concerned, and hope she'll be better tomorrow. We'll get the report on her fecal sample then as well. The only other thing is we have to work on getting her "girlish figure" back - she's a tad over 12 pounds, and for her....let's just say Weight Watchers might be a good idea!

Again, thank you all, I hope this was just a case of overprotective parents!

Gald to hear she had such a good report. And Eddie ALWAYS throws up when he gets home from the vet!

how is pinot doing now?

[Pinot's Mom]

Thank you for asking!

Pinot is back to herself. We have found a balance in the different foods and added water that have made her much happier (and her digestive system, too!). She'd like to actually have MORE, thank you very much, but the vet has actually recommended a quarter cup per meal as opposed to the third cup (plus) she was receiving twice a day. It seems to be working well. The latest recipe: Science Diet regular indoor mixed with Science Diet natural formula (both dry) and a smidgeon of canned Science Diet or Whiskas meal. Mix all that together, add a little water to give her gravy, and mix again.

She doesn't have a battle with her dish (batting it around the floor), she eats, and all other systems are firing normally ( sorry, couldn't help it).

Thanks for your concern!
