SO I did chores and did catch a small nap with 5 hounds in various hogging spots on the bed.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Zoey is drinking by herself, (YAY), but not eating. I forced 2 chunks of boiled chicken down her a little bit ago, and will try to get her to eat a few more bites later on. She does not have pancreatitis with this…yet, and we would really like to not have her get it. I have a belief, although it is not founded on any fact, that empty bellies, with acid production in there, can be a catalyst for pancreatitis. Call me crazy, but I swear, when we keep a little bit in the bellies, stomach issues seem to not happen.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Anyhow, so that is a huge reason for me to force some food in her. She had her catheter taken out this afternoon, so do not have to be at the vet again tomorrow. Will start on oral meds in the morning. She is puttering in and out by herself, which is so very good to see.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Thanks again to you all for the drool for Zoey.
