Macalester came home Saturday with a new diet, special instructions, and a warning from the vet that she has not recovered — she is home to recuperate.
Things have been rocky, as Macalester hasn’t been able to keep down the little bits of food we give her. She’s now back on a water only diet until Monday morning. The vet warned us that this would not be a smooth road, and he was right. I’ve called him, at his insistence, several times already. He has been very reassuring to this very anxious and upset dog-mom.
While it’s hard to hear her constantly rumbling stomach, the good news is that she is alert, drinking water, and really wishing that we would feed her anyway. She is also pushing Sydney around and drinking all of Sydney’s water first. So while things are not going as well as hoped, she seems to have retained her spirit.
Sarah has been singing to her, which really perks Macalester up. I never thought she cared much for music. But she seems to enjoy Sarah’s rendition of “A, You’re a Adorable”.
