Im sorry I didnt get back on last night to update. I came home from my 2nd job and just lost it after Latte came out from under the piano and just as quickly ran back when she saw me stand up....ears flat,and making her self as small as possible in the corner. She was terrified of me. :cry: I gave her some time and then squeezed myself in there with her and cried some more. I told her no more putting food under her nose, no more extra medicine, no more coercing her out from under there to give her regular meds or encourage eating. Other than to pet her, love her,and do the bare minimum, I was going to leave her alone. If she only has a short time left, I dont want it to be hiding under a piano in fear of the one person she has come to trust over her 18yrs.
Its quite possible the bupe assisted in her paranoia. I saw a similar reaction the first time I gave it to her. Im sure she is pretty tired of all the fussing,too.
the last few days she has pretty much spent all day/night under the piano. It's becoming increasingly difficult to give her meds down there. And, its probably painful for me to pick her up to do them in a better spot. The other a.m. she wedged herself between the piano and blankets, and couldnt get up. She of course peed herself because of that. It was very difficult to get her out for her shot that a.m. If she comes out,its only for a short time to get a drink or pee. Today, she came out a few times to check on what I was doing. Once she saw,it was back under. The piano spot is her 'closet'. Its the closest thing she has to a hiding spot.
She did eat some kibble on her own late last night, overnight, and @ +4 this a.m. She really does not want much to do with wet or babyfood, though she got almost 1/2 can of wellness in by +2ish this a.m. Small improvements with the eating today...actually large. But I wont count my chickens before they hatch. It seems its becoming more and more of a downward trend with her eating. I seriously think her weight gain is mostly represented by water.
I look at her ss and the comments I make. Ive become a little slack in that department, but it seems more and more in the past few weeks Ive been commenting on her lethargy and not eating. Less and less am I seeing stretches of good days. This week's hiding and not eating is some of the worst Ive seen in loooooooooong time....like since her experience with leukeran last October.
I dont know what to do. She is declining, there is no question about that. And it seems its getting faster and faster. Her darn little spirit and will seem to be much stronger than her body at this point. Thats what makes it so hard to know what to do.
Regarding her dose - I know Im dose hopping and giving late/early shots. Ya know, it is what it is at this point. Im weighing a zilion different factors when I make these decisions. They are not based on one number. Im just trying to keep her safe, while not messing her up so terribly that I cant get her out of the high numbers.
Thanks for listening, and sorry for any worry I may have caused.
