OK everyone, decent news to report! Although I'm still anxiously awaiting biopsy results (tomorrow), Lizzy is finally eating! I am upset with my vet for not sending me home with pain meds for her in the 1st place, he should've known that. Lizzys jaw is extremely sore, and after enough arguing I finally got her some narcotics....gave them to her an hour before attempted feeding tonight. I cooked up some chicken then sliced it into shreds, like tuna. Mixed the shredded chicken/little rice/vegetable stew into a "slurry" and put it into her food dish. This would be very easy to swallow without chewing.
She inhaled every bit of it. She even tried to clean the floor! I can't give her too much, but will try a little later with some more. I replaced her water with Pedialite, bubblegum....yummy! She's drinking it like crazy, and I think the electrolites have replenished her, she is more active, and not so weak, and now I'm hoping for improvement after just eating, and hopefully continuing to eat, put some weight back on (lost almost 10lbs in 10 days!)
Results tomorrow and I am anxiously awaiting awesome news! I'm optimistic!
Lizzys been a trooper.....my girl
