Status Report

I just picked Flower up from the vet. She was anxious and ready to leave I think. Once home she walked around and checked her usually spaces, including her litter box. She smelled her food but ate nothing yet. She was just sitting with me, and she seems tired: like normal at the end of the day. I filled her bowl with 25o mL of water and will wait to see how long it takes her to drink it. The tech showed me how to administer sub-q fluids using a towel in order to prevent Flower from scratching or fighting. The technique is simple; the skin on the back of the neck is pulled away and the needle simply goes in through the folded skin. I should administer 50 cc every other day with otherwise normal fluid intake. I may administer as much as 150 cc if she is not drinking but I should call the vet to check Flower's other symptoms first. I also now have Valium for Flower; I am supposed to give her one-half of a tablet once daily in order to stimulate appetite. I also have amoxyicillin to give her: 1 mL twice daily. This will probably last for the duration of the next week and then some. I hope this works.
