bookzombieWell, Josie is still with us so far, but I admit we are still pretty concerned.
The tablets she is on have taken the inflamation down a fair amount (but they do mean that she is drinking and peeing a lot) but she doesn't seem to be eating very much, which is a worry. She has nibbled the odd piece of chicken but nothing else that I have spotted. I'm hoping that she is actually eating something when we are not there but what see her doing is going to the water dish and having a drink and then looking at the food and walking away. It kind of puts me in mind of someone with the 'flu: all you are really up to is looking at food but don't fancy eating. I'm going to get her some Tuna at lunch time to see if that will interest her at all.
P. weighed her yesterday (7lbs which is actually more than I thought) and then we will weigh her again towards the end of the week and see if she has lost any more weight, and if so take her back to the vet.
In the meantime she seems happy enough, though she is very quiet, mainly sitting on the carpet just in the entry to the living room pretty much ignoring everyone, even Bob most of the time.
Fingers still very much crossed, but I can't say I'm particularly optimistic.
