Jennie's paws appear to be all back to normal. No more bumps or swellings on her face.
I've written to the vet this morning to ask about getting the lactulose powder from Wedgewood pharmacy, where I get Jennie's piroxicam. I told her I am afraid to use the miralax again, and have been using mineral oil (she doesn't want me to use it but I have t use something)
She went more than 24 hours without passing any stool, though she did sit in the litter box a few times, which really was worrying me until finally this morning she had a "normal" sized formed poop. Firm outside runny in the middle, no discernible blood!
So I am relieved the mineral oil is helping, but getting up in the middle of the night to dose it isn't much fun (she takes it in food)
On weekends I can fit in a dose during the day too, but I won't be able to manage that during the work week, so, again, we need the lactulose.
Still needs coaxing and enhancements to eat. I am using pork pancreas glandular powder, egg yolk lecithin, Whole Life freeze dried chicken breast and Forti Flora in rotation for enhancements. The forti flora is a last resort.
Today was supposed to be her follow up blood work, but of course because of the emergency last Thursday she now goes back on Thursday instead. I am glad because it is minus 7 F (wind chill minus 21) I would hate to have to take her out.
