Just an update on my Rosie after dental 11 days ago. First off I must give many many thanks to Jacks Jane for her help and advise during this stressful time. Her knowledge, advice and guidance has undoubtedly saved my Rosie's life. After her dental rosie would not eat the next day and during her dental she had a tooth removed due to an absess. I rushed her to a different vet the next day as she had been prescribed antibiotics that would probably have killed her. The second vets diagnosed a blockage and rosie was admitted and was treated intensively for 9 days. The vets were amazingas were the nurses and I cannot thank them enough either. The blockage has passed and I have been syringe feeding her 3 times a day critical care 10mls at a time. She is on cisipride, zantac , fibreplex and metacam. She is producing small amounts of poo and peeing ok. Yesterday she ate loads of carrot tops , basil and some spinach leaves and I was really impressed. She also ate some herbs and parsley overnight. This evening she has only eaten a few carrot tops and a tiny bit of banana. She doesn't want to eat as much as yesterday. What is the best way to encourage her to eat more. ?? The vet said if her appetite was good today I could start injecting her with depocillian for her absess but I think I should maybe wait another day just to see. Any tips anyone ?
