Thanks pitlove for the reminder that I need to keep to the recovery diet and not get overzealous with giving too much too soon! I will admit I Couldn’t help myself, I gave her a small tin of sardines today 🙂 but I did pick up a doggy multivitamin and will stick to that and the puppy food for now.
She’s improving rapidly, haven’t had a chance to reweigh her yet but she’s definitely gaining and filling out and her coat looks a lot healthier. She looks like a slim dog now, not a starving street dog anymore.
Her gums and roof of mouth are quite pink now so hopefully that’s a good sign that the anemia is resolving? And she’s acting less and less like a “rescue.” Less timid. More independent. Interacting and seeking affection from me and and my other dogs. Head up and interested in what’s going on around, rather than sitting with head hanging and staring at floor.
So overall she’s making great progress and it’s just been one week 🙂 fingers crossed that she’ll get the vets ok to be spayed next month.
