Thank you for your kind wishes everyone I had a little update about her earlier. Yesterday all she wanted to eat was recovery food mixed with baby food but today she's nibbled some cabbage, so she must be feeling a little brighter. It comforts me at least to know she's willing to eat more difficult food, as I know she's so stubborn that she'll flat out refuse if she's feeling very ill!
I'm going to ring back tomorrow and see how she is then. I may need to take her some more baby food or other food in which case I might be able to pop and see her, although if she's eating veg there's no need to take her baby food. I do kind of wish I could go, as perhaps seeing me might comfort her a little ? I feel a bit worried that she thinks I might have abandoned her
Hopefully with these drains the abscess will go down a lot. The vet said that generally they see a quick improvement when using drains so I'm really hoping that's the case with Nena, as I feel so terrible putting her through 8 weeks of treatment . Even though I know it's the right thing to do as she may have years left (with careful weight monitoring to ensure we spot abscesses quickly), I'm the one that's decided to put her through this and I feel very guilty.
