Thanks for thinking of us. I resisted the Metacam last night, so she had it this morning with some chicken, but I had to feed her every mouthful, Same again lunchtime with the food, just not interested, even though I went out and bought some fish. Roast beef today, so I'm hoping that will tempt her to eat later. I wish this Metacam would kick in, coz quite honestly she's not the same as when she has it at night, I've got her just the same in the daytime, and it's been 5 hours almost since she had it today. I'm wondering though, because we had to leave it 36 hours instead of the usual 24, some of it got out of her system, so she may perk up a bit later.
She perked up when I got her collar and lead out to walk her down the road to have a wee, but then she had trouble getting back, ever so slowly we came up the slope.
Needless to say, I've had the tears again this morning. Ikeep cuddling her which only makes my cry loads more. I spent the evening looking up the care of old dogs with cancer and learned a lot. The minute she doesn't want to go on her morning walk, coz she lives for her morning run, or the minute there's any sign of pain (which there won't be with these dogs, they don't like to show it!) or if she is ever sick, then it will be the time I phone my vet. Until such time, I'll just keep loving her and taking care of her as best I can, in the comfort she has always had and soooo deserves.
Thanks for caring.xxx
