    OK, mixed review.

    She ate tonight, possibly only because I gave her an appetite stimulant pill a couple hours earlier.

    But her skin is starting to slogh off her foot, so the foot soaks are causing her pain. (She REALLY protested tonight).

    Poor Amber...I mean, it's great if the affected skin is coming off, but the saltwater soaks would really sting.

    She does deserve peace...but several things...someone mentioned her appetite being off because of the antibiotics. Would Forti Flora or Pepcid help her?

    Would giving her a painkiller closer to soak time help? Dear little Amber...I hope the infection starts to heal so the salt won't hurt as much.

    Major PT Prayers to Amber, and to her devoted (and tired) Mom.

    Hard to say how she is doing. She eats, but not her full amount.

    I have her foot bandaged because the blackened skin is peeling and I want to kleep it clean (and brevent bleeding).

    She totally hates having the foot touched/soaked. The leg does not hurt her, and she gets around fine. She even uses the bent and bandaged foot sometimes. But she is a skinny as a rail and this foot is NOT going to get better.

    We shall see what time brings.

    Blackened skin? Poor Amber!

    Glad to hear she is eating a little, and I hope she is comfy. Give her some gentle hugs for me?
