Feeling down about Alice today

Hi,
Finding it a bit hard going with Alice today. She has a pain episode about once every 3-4 weeks as a result of her fibrous stomach lining and then has domperidone to kick start her followed by daily metacam, metaclop, ranatadine, probiotics.

She did very well following her previous episode and had re-gained weight and seemed lively and strong but this time she has lost weight which I'm trying to stabilise. Her tummy is working fine with all the meds and she is reasonably chirpy but it is a constant worry, waiting for signs of the next episode.

It is hard spacing out all the medicine correctly and she gets fed up too!

I don't expect any suggestions, just need to let off a bit of steam,

Nicki:)
 
How worrying :( It sounds like you've got her condition under control with the right meds though :) Sending vibes for Alice and hugs for you xx
 
Thanks for your kind thoughts,

She is a very poorly bun but when she is firing on all cylinders you wouldn't think there is anything wrong with her so it is well worth all the effort!
She is also an absolute darling!

I so feel for you. It can be tricky dealing with poorly buns. My Jassy is having breathing problems and it does leave you on edge as I find I am always out there just watching her fearing the worst then she'll just get up and go and have something to eat and then I'll feel relief and then she'll go quiet again. :(
