Post # 3 for this morning haha
Jennie really struggled to eat yesterday. I also noticed her frequent pooping had changed. She didn't poop all day. I did wonder if the two were related but I also think she is having pain. I managed to get about half her usual food into her yesterday, all by hand feeding. She would lick it off my fingers.
Earlier in the week when she was having those formed firmer stools I was thinking that was a good thing, but now I wonder.
This morning, in the early hours, her normal time to have her largest poop she did have one, and again it is different. One long piece, very firm, and then a smaller piece dry and crumbly. I don't know what that means I just want to get it on record so I don't forget. f anyone has an ideas I am glad to hear them.
I had to hand feed her her meal after her 6 a.m. gabapentin, but she did eat 0.5 ounce.
I went back to bed and at some point she left the bed again and had some more poop, little bits, in two boxes, and while they LOOK like they are mushy, they are actually dry and crumbly feeling.
But then asked for and ate her first breakfast serving at her usual meal spot, on her own, with great appetite.. She lingered asking for more but by the time I was ready to give it to her she didn't want it any more and had gone to the bed on the couch. I'm just about to try again.
Success! In the pictures, 1st pic is when I put the food down for her. Second is: I kept trying to get a shot of her licking her chops but I kept missing it. That's why she looks so annoyed in the 2nd picture and why I finally went to video when she kept licking the empty dish.
