Minnie is back to her old self. A somewhat stiffer version of her old self, but we are delighted to have her back.
Her appetite has returned and she is eating regularly now. Rather than feeding her once a day, as we did most of her life, today I have given her three or four small meals, and it’s only 11 am. She’s got the spring back in her step again. She doesn’t even need the anti-nausea med or appetite stimulant. However, I have discovered I am a wiz at pilling the dog and giving her liquid medication, and these are skills I expect I will need again.
I’d like to get her on a healthier diet. She’s eating all meat and a little yogurt now, which is the doggie equivalent of subsisting on Doritos and Mountain Dew. I’ll tackle that problem after she’s had a little time getting back in the habit of eating.
