Happy Halloween, spooky friends!!
I am happy to announce that when I got home yesterday, Cooper had not only eaten all of his breakfast--he licked the bowl clean! Then for dinner, he finished the whole plate!
What, you ask, has made this seemingly miraculous difference? Pray tell, you say, what apparently healed the prince of his ailment. Dear friends, it is with vast embarrassment that I must tell you that I decided to give him a full pill of the ondansetron instead of half yesterday morning on a whim. It could be a coincidence, certainly...but more than likely, it is what has helped him.
So the cure was that I got a brain essentially LOL.
For real though, I don't know why I thought I needed to "work my way up" to a full dose of the ondansetron? I kept telling myself I'd start "working my way up" on a day I had time, but I literally have no idea where I got that from. So yesterday morning I said, you know what, just give him the full pill and see how he does. Well, the answer is he does really well.
Now I will say that I did syringe feed him a little bit last night and this morning, but for the most part he has eaten all on his own. He didn't mind the syringe feeding, he started to actually just lick it off of my finger after awhile. Thank you all SO much for the encouragement with that! Again, you guys are so kind!
I hope you all have a wonderfully spooky Halloween for those that celebrate! For those that don't, I hope your Tuesday is still magical!
