Rough Weekend
Katy had a horrible weekend. Actually, it was all Sunday afternoon/evening. She'd been coughing and puffing out her cheeks (her sign of nausea) off and on all week, but Sunday evening, after dinner, she drank some water and she started throwing up and couldn't stop. She started wheezing (her sign of super-nausea) and was really tired. I thought we were going to have to drop her off at the vet's to get a shot to stop the nausea. She wheezed until late last night when she finally fell asleep. And this morning.... no wheezing! Yay! She ate her breakfasts ok and had only one cough. Double Yay! Now she doesn't get water unless she has an empty stomach, and if she doesn't cough after drinking, she can have some more. Otherwise, she gets frozen water jello (plain gelatin made with just water and no fruit juices). She likes those, so it seems more like a treat for her. We are also just giving her canned food for the next couple of weeks, since the K/D dry food the vet has her on can be rough on the stomach. The best news is that she didn't have to go to the vet and was able to get her stomach settled down by taking it easy.
