I had one of the best nights in a long time, sleeping wise that is. Dusty only woke me up 1 time for food last night.
This is a very unusual feat for him. I was hoping this was something new due to the lower BG.
I found out why at 5:40 a.m. His tummy must have been hurting because the sound of him throwing up woke me. He threw up some of his food.
I am back to where I believe that if he doesn't have a bowel movement every day that he's stopped up somewhere in the ole
intestines. I'm hoping that with some experience I can alleviate this problem.
After the awakening this morning, I cleaned everything up and softly rubbed his tummy for 10 minutes before my alarm went off. I can feel the poo.
It's not very soft....I don't know if the soft tummy rub did him any good or not, but he ate decently before I had to leave for work. Before he was fed,
I managed to get 1/8 tsp. of Mirilax down him. I'm not used to giving Dusty very many meds, so I tasted the stuff so I would be able to tell if Dusty was
going fight me on it and my taste buds didn't detect any taste. My first use of the Mirilax was 2 days ago. I mixed it with his food and he didn't eat much of it after that. So this time, knowing that even though I can't taste anything but have no idea if Dusty, I can went ahead and mixed it in 1/4 cup water and proceeded to get him to lick it from a syringe. Whoop Whoop !!
I'm still leary about how much to use with Dusty and I'm hoping, as suggested, this is a good starting point.
I also mixed 1 tsp of baby food squash and about 1/2 cup water in his food and he ate that too.
I've been using the baby food squash method for several days now. Not to worry, I refrigerate any opened jars and discard after 3 days. I still haven't found
my ice trays. I know they are packed away in the basement, just haven't come up on them in my search yet. So right now we are wasteful.
In the 2 hrs. it takes before I leave my house in the morning, Dusty still hadn't pooed. :sad: I worry about him not drinking enough since his BG is down.
I could tell that during the night he hadn't touched his water bowl. I know he gets water because I mix it in his food every time I put food down but I just
don't know if it's enough. His little body is having to go through so many changes.
I'm thankful that Dusty is willing to eat, praying for poo, but hoping I don't go home to a blow out.
Ya'll have a great day.
