First of all, I really want to thank everyone for giving us their best wishes and thinking of us. I just noticed how many people have been responding and I'm very grateful. It's very comforting knowing I have a place I can go to and talk about my dog with people who understand how much she means to me. I really don't think some of the people in my life truly understand how much a dog can mean to a person.
That being sad, I'd like to update a little on how Clover is feeling tonight. She certainly seems to be a tiny bit better at least. She has a long way to go but she seems a little more alert and actually got up on her own to go outside which she hasn't done yet.
She's still not eating rice, kibble or anything else. I went out and got her a little wet food. I'm sure that's not great for an upset tummy but I really wanted her to eat just a little. I gave her a small amount, but not all at once because she really wanted to inhale it! I've decided to just give her a little bit for tonight. I also gave her the water/electrolyte stuff the vet gave us.
There is only ONE thing I'm still concerned about at this time. That is her belly is a little bigger then normal. It's pretty round, like where her stomach is, and kinda the area where her rib cage is. She's hasn't been able to poop today either. She tried, but nothing happens. She hasn't had a lot to eat though at all. Vet said she didn't see any feces from the x-ray.
She's laying down now, but not sleeping. I'm worried about her belly...she hasn't had enough to eat for it to get that way.
