Jennie is playing a little every day! It makes me so happy to see her! This morning she had a little song and dance for breakfast! Not her usual very active Song and Dance, but a lot of song and a tiny bit of dance.
On Thanksgiving when my friend D came Jennie wanted to be noticed. It was very strange because Jennie usually just ignores a visitor until she feels like going over to say hello with a sniff or two. But she just lay there in her bed and stared at D until I prompted D to go over and speak to her. Jennie turned herself inside out with delight.
She's maintaining her normal healthy weight at 8 pounds 8 ounces. Her fur, it looks like, is going to grow in much lighter than it used to be. This, if I remember correctly, has something to do with temperature. It's cold now, so the fur will grow in light. I could be wrong though.
Hard to believe it's been a whole month since that drive up to the specialist clinic. Her blood test is Monday. She's been on the piroxicam 3 weeks. Keep your paws crossed her kidneys are handling the piroxicam. I don't see any evidence that there is a problem. Her pee habits remain the same, and she never goes near the water bowl. After the test I will start the sub q fluids.
Then, hopefully that will be the end of vet trips, for everyone, for a good long time.
