    Pat, you are doing everything possible to keep Poppy comfortable. She couldn't ask for a better mom.
    Did the vet say if they could reduce the fluid with furosemide, a "fluid pill"?
    If there's a Walmart close to your house, check there for those treats.
    Lots of hugs and kisses to you, Poppy and Sparkler

    Thanks, Heidi. I did ask her if they could do something about all that fluid, but she said that what they could do would be more uncomfortable for her than leaving it as it is. She didn't go into that any further.

    Furosemide, she didn't say anything about that. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and ask about it..

    Walmart is a bit of a trip, one in Ypsilanti and one in Saline. Meijer, a Midwest version of sort of the same kind of place, might have it.. and there's Petsmart across the street from that. I haven't been over to that area yet, but it's closer than either Walmart.

    She might be getting to the point that she's past those kinds of things.. I offered her one of the last pellets of this bag of it, and she sniffed like she was interested, and sort of acted like she was going to pick it up into her mouth but then didn't.
