Paws and Fingers Crossed

I've so appreciated the good thoughts for Reggie!  My concern for her grew when she hardly moved off the dog-bed on Monday and wouldn't eat.  I reluctantly left her on Tuesday when I returned to work.  However I felt that she would be 'okay'  because our dog walker was coming midday and she would let me know if Reggie wasn't doing well.  When I got home from work, Reggie was still in the same place as she was when I'd left her in the morning.  My dog walker had been unable to get her to go outside.  Thinking and hoping that the medications that she has been taking might be the cause for the sudden change, I decided that I would take Reggie off of them.

The vet that I have come to respect and trust for the past 6 years is currently on maternity leave. Until she returns we are seeing a recently graduated vet named 'Chrissy Johnson.'  I think her name fits her because she looks like she's about 12 years old, and is no bigger than a pencil.  We discussed everything and I was glad that she supported my taking Reggie off the medications for now.  This morning Reggie ate a little and met me at the door when I got home this evening.  While Reggie is still not herself, and her appetite hasn't fully returned, I'm really hoping that maybe we're heading in a positive direction--Paws and fingers crossed!! .

  12. Needless to say, I've been so attached to Reggie from the very start and then when she appointed herself to become Todd's mother....

    Reggie-girl, I just hope you can start felling better soon. Pawsitive vibes are coming your way from Rocky Creek Farm.

  13. One day at a time. It sounds like the meds were the reason for her lack of activity. I'm sure you will do your best to give her comfort and quality of life. Like John said, she is in good hands. Hugs for Reggie.

  14. Poor Reggie! Our Lilac often quits eating when she's on meds, too, so we try not to give her things if we don't have to, and not in her food. Those older gals are too smart for their own good sometimes, and Lilac always knows if there's a pill in there somewhere!

  15. Hi Kim, Please know I'm keeping your Reggie gal in my prayers-just like my Reggie boy. It's been almost 8 wks when the vet said only four, I'm simply amazed. Hope that her appetite returns and she perks up a bit. Hugs to you today.

  17. Hi Kim, Our fingers and paws are crossed too. I hope that getting the meds out of her system will make a big difference.

    It is tough when your trusted vet isn't available. We've had the same vet for 12 years, and I have a very hard time going to someone else when she's out of the office for some reason. I hope that your new graduate does well by you and your pups.

    I am thinking of you.

  26. All paws and fingers crossed over here for Reggie. I wish that I could send Cody over to her, he would have her smiling at his goofy antics in no time, perhaps not moving much yet, but inspiring her a bit! hugs to her, and you, ~Debby
