I am still assist feeding her. I am syringing water into her too. She actually acts like she may be slightly better, she is up and around a little more, peeing & pooing, tho her poo is little piles of pudding poo, but that's a manifestation of what she's being syringe fed.
I was really worried about leaving her and going to work today, I set my alarms for 5 so I would have plenty of time to assist feed her slowly and do whatever else she needed, I woke up 2 hrs late at nearly 7, have to leave at 7:45 to make it to work on time. I syringe fed her (was late to work) about 15-20mls, jumped in the shower at 7:30, gave her her insulin at almost 8, and had to leave. She doesn't want to be shut up in "her" room so I left her resting on my bed. I considered coming home at noon to check on her, but I don't get 2-1/2 hours for lunch, I only get an hr, so I didn't. Truthfully I was scared to. Of course then I was more scared when I flew out the door at 5 and came straight home. & couldn't find her. not on the bed, not downstairs by the water bowl, not upstairs by any of the 3 water bowls, not in her basket, not in her box. I was frantic. & then I realized that b/c I had left the kibble feeding room door downstairs open, which is the room where the kitty door to the outside is, she must have gone off into the woods. OMG I went outside & around & around the house calling her & then back inside calling for her & then back outside calling her & then back in & just when me & Smokey (dog) were getting ready to head for the woods I found her, out by the side of the house, standing over this big clay muddy-red puddle of water, drinking. Now I realize that drinking that water is not my first choice, but at least she was there. & drinking. There are 4 dishes of clean, fresh water in the house & she was outside drinking out of a mud puddle.
I brought her in, tested her, gave her 10mg of pepsid, fed her, and now I'm off to the barn to feed the horses. And the door to the kibble room is closed.
My co-worker/friend lives 5 minutes away from work (& is an animal lover) & said I can drop Tawny off in the mornings there, she can stay in the tiled floor hall bathroom & I can go check on her & assist feed her on my lunch break. I told her she's probably going to pee on the floor and she said "i don't care, it's tile." She mops up pee when she goes home every day she told me once after one of her older dogs. She is the type of person who if she says this, she means it, so Tawny & I have a good plan for the work week feedings now.
