 | |  | | Thanks Alexandria, Chandler and Fox! As of mid day Thursday, my buddy Facci is holding her own. At times she's still pacing to exhaustion, especially at night. She's been on the Prednisone for a little more than a day, got her second dose this morning. She's showing some small recovery of personality and memory, and lessening of anxiety, not much if any improvement of motor skills, depth perception, coordination...
The Lady and the Man have kinda figured worked out a process to keep her going. She's getting food prepared with rice and broth, with goodies such as eggs or chicken mixed in, multiple times a day. She is still doing her business outside so her digestive system is still working. They are using the pain pills and Benadryl at the right times to help her sleep. Also have rigged up the living room so she can pace safely and not hit any sharp edges, not get to any of the stairs, cleared her favorite paths of obstructions, and set up night lighting so she can see where she's going but not inhibit her from sleeping when she's ready. They have taken turns sitting up with her and she's got a human with her alnost all the time. She's a sweetie, but she's also a tough old girl and working hard to recover as much as possible.
Teddy and I still go outdoors with her to keep her safe, and with this snow and extremely cold weather (-16 deg F this morning, -6 deg F right now!), we break paths through the snow and keep a much closer watch over her.
More as we have it. Thanks pups!
Yawns and Brrrr!!
