How is she now Flo?

When I left her she was hopping around exploring her kennel! Just not eating at all, I think she has eaten 3-4 bits of carrot since Tuesday (apart from syringe feeding).
They have put her on a drip so she'll stay there overnight. I'll give them a call later this evening to see how she's doing.

Yeah hoping they will perk her up!
I've been worrying all day! I know she is in good hands and they can give her lots more care than I can as it's a 24hr vets they'll keep an eye on her all night. Hopefully now I can relax a bit more and she won't wake me up at 5am ripping up newspaper!

Ohh she's so funny :lol: haha yes! To be honest I was surprised she hadn't pulled it out !
 
Final update hopefully - Flo is finally eating! She ate a lot of hay at the vets (weird as she never eats hay!) so she's come home. She's still got her IV cannula in so will be giving her more fluids later. When she got home she munched on a bit of hay, pellets and even a raspberry!

So happy! Thank you everyone for the vibes :love:
 
I'm so relieved! She has eaten some pellets, bunch of hay, 1/4 a carrot and a raspberry! And she's only been home for 6 hours! :D

She is making up for what she's missed out on !!

She says 'now, pass me the next course and make sure it's not a small one ' !!
