thats wonderful. Did you pick up a crate to keep her quite. hope she feels like her old self soon.
No, in the car she sits in the passenger seat....
I won't put her in a crate at home ...I only have a small one that the cat would fit in...I thinkshe would be very unhappy (and mad at me) if I tried to crate her in the house
LOL....I wish I was on my way though....

I am intrigued as to why. I have my own reasons for not using them.
1. A. Nutro product. Most of their products are manufactured in their plants in china.. charging a premium price for a chin ese made product I don't agree with.
2. Greenies are notorious for causing intestinal blockages and sometimes pancreatic failure in some dogs. Pill pockets are a variation of greenies and have, any of the same ingredients.
3. Pill pockets are made in the usa, butnot at a nutro plant. Nutro has employeed another manufacturing company to make these. So they are not even made. BY the company themselves.
Glad to hear it meowzer.

OK We are home...PHEW....All totaled....the last 2 weeks cost $690.....not including chicken, steaks, and zantac....
The whole way home she looked at me with suspicious eyes....usually she lays down in the car..BUT NOPE....every time I slowed down, hit a pebble....made a turn....she looked at me
SO we get home.....as soon as she touched the grass she peed....I swear for like a minute....LOL.....we come in and of course Rosie runs right to her....that did not go well....I thought Pixie was gonna bite her..YIKES.....so Pixie goes to her food bowl and gets her little stash....brings it into the living room....Her back legs seem very weak
SO....then she goes into the kitchen and squats under the table and tries to poop
WELL....I will not yell at her so I pick her up and take her out (it's raining...need I say more)
She didn't do anything else at that time.....then she goes to sit with her Daddy (I won;t let her jump, so I placed her on the couch)
When I started to walk away....she jumped off and followed me...GUESS she is my dog now LOL.....BUT then she started to poop again
this time I got her out in time...she walked 5 feet into the grass and did another small one.....POOR BABY....she seems hungry so I gave her a treat and a few pieces of steak someone from work brought me for her......There are 2 steps from the front porch, she looked really awkward when she tried to climb them, so I picked her up.....I do not want to push her activities....for almost 2 weeks she has ben in a crate
SHE IS NOT being nice to Rosie at all......they will have to readjust I guess.
OK...MEDS....she takes 1/2 a prednisone in the a.m. and p.m......and one Clavamox 2x a day....ALSO the dr wants me to give her Zantac for her tummy....and she has to go back in 2 weeks for the next bloodtest..
WHAT AN ORDEAL!!!!!!

For some reason, I get the feeling that this pup will be spoiled beyond belief before too much longer. Take care your other dog doesn't get feelings hurt.
I'd suggest a rib-eye for both of them! LOL
She does look a tad weak to be honest.
OH believe me...both dogs got steak for dinner tonight...LOL.....This has been a rough night so far.....she is almost pitiful to watch I figured she would be tired, BUT did not account for the fact that she spent 13 days in a 2 x 2 crate with NO activity allowed....She is eating very well though
She is gonna have to rebuild her back leg muscles I guess......I help her the most she will let me (w/o biting my arm off..LOL) I carry her down the 2 steps on the porch...and up them, BUT let her go in the yard at her own pace....

AHHHHHH...well she isn't having a problem pooping now
I just carried her out side....she peed, and came back to the porch, so I carried her back in, and dried off her feet.....Rosie came in too...I walked to my bedroom and as we went thru the door Pixie POOPED....and ROSIE Stepped in it....ARGGGGG...There was a trail across the room before I could catch Rosie and get her in the bathroom
THEN....NOT only did I have to clean poop out of Rosies back paw.....I had to clean the trail in my carpet
and it was like black tar...
thank goodness for oxyclean carpet cleaner
I love my dog......I love my dog...I love my dog

Sometimes a dog or cat comes home from an animal hospital with the smells of lots of other dogs and cats. The other healthy animals at home either want to investigate these smells...or does not recognize the animal because of the foreign smells.....which makes the hospitalized pet angry or anxious. If this is the case then a few drops of your favorite perfume on ALL the pets...back of neck area can help transition them back to all smelling like you and everyone else at home.
Guess we won't worry about constipation!
Also, small (about 1/4-1/2 her normal serving) frequent (every 4-6 hours) for a day or two would be a good idea. Because of her low blood counts it is best not to overload/overwork any system...including the digestive system for a couple (3-4) days.
It would not surprise me if she sleeps alot over the next 12 hours. Had a burst of excitement getting home and now the adreniline is gone and she will probably sleep well tonight.
While the steak is a great treat and she needs to eat she also needs to get some balance back in her diet. You might mix the meat in with some of her normal food.
I am sure she is happy to be home. I am happy for all of you!
