Good News for a Change
I am absolutely thrilled to say that Yara is doing amazing!
It’s only been three days and already I can see that she’s doing so much better. Her stool is, as Sharon puts it, “a poop color” now and more normal looking than I’ve ever seen it. She’s eaten every bite of her food since Monday evening when I first started adding all the supplements and medicine. And I can tell that her stomach is staying full rather than emptying almost immediately after relieving. Even her ribs are less prominently showing!
And while she never acted sick, she does seem to have perked up. My grandmother voiced my thoughts when she said that it’s probably because she actually has nutrients in her body now. And everyone’s in agreement that she had to have been suffering somewhat from having all that food pass through her. I can say she seems especially interested in having her belly rubbed the last few days.
The one somewhat negative is that her stool is loose. It’s not quite diarrhea, but it’s not firm like it was before. I called the vet today and voiced this concern and was told that chances are it’s a reaction to the antibiotics, but that if it gets any worse to bring her in. As she’s definitely improving already from this treatment and we know it’s not the food she’s eating, we didn’t want to make any changes.
We’re back at the vet’s Monday afternoon for her next B-12 shot and a quick follow up check on her progress.
EDIT: By the way, you might notice some changes going on here while I work on the new design. Sorry if things go missing suddenly or break for no reason. Hopefully I’ll get everything straightened out sometime this weekend.
