She continues to do well, considering how close to death she seemed a week ago. Appetite remains fantastic, energy level is lots better, not much wobble, if any, to her walk, barking with regularity once more, interacting with people and wanting to be the center of attention, etc.

However, I did notice one thing that has me concerned somewhat. Her vet put her on one week only of the med for her tummy, and she took the last of it Friday. Yesterday I noticed her poop was darker again, tho not black. I need to see what it looks like today when she can produce for me again. I'm going to call the vet first thing in the a.m. tomorrow and see what she thinks - if she should still be taking more of it, or what. It doesn't seem to me that only a week's worth would allow any kind of bleed to heal, but then, I'm not the doctor either. Just talking from my own human experience on this one. She has a couple more days of the antibiotic, and stays on the Hi-Vite drops for who knows how long - quite a while I would imagine.

Myndi goes back this coming Friday for more bloodwork and a weigh-in, so that will give a better picture of where she stands. Those #'s have to come up. She feels like she has gained a little and I'm resisting the temptation to weigh her on my scales, since for accuracy, she should be weighed on the same scale as before. I still remain cautiously optimistic and fully realize that anything could happen at any time. I'm just thankful for every day that she remains with me.

So keep those prayers coming please - they're working wonders so far.

I'll update again when I know more.

Pomtzu - I will await the results from the vet visit for Myndi. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts.

Quick update - poop looks normal.

I'm thinking maybe it's just dark from the liver and iron overload. She's starting to lose her taste for the fresh liver that has always been a favorite - but too much of a good thing maybe?

She's still getting a lot in the Hi-Vite drops. Now she wants fresh cooked chicken. I try to shred it and mix it with her canned food, but she would prefer chicken with a little dog food mixed in. Does she get it? Guess........
