Small update on Rocket....
He looked pretty tired last night but managed to stay out rather than being reclusive in the later part of the evening....I managed to get enough food into his tummy and by 11:30 pm (his last round of meds) I took him to his bed and tucked him in....yes...like a baby with his blankets and Teddy Bear....
He slept for about 1 hr (usually sleeping off the meds)....then he was hungry...so i brought food for him...he ate almost all to which i was happy and tired!....I left enough food out for him in case i slept thru my alarm...and so by 3.30 am (of of the many alarms) I got up to give him the pepcid....he had eaten what i left out for him...
For whatever reason he becomes pretty restless by 4 am...he bangs on the blinds and i’m not sure why...at first i thought it was the pepcid doing it as the schedule for it has changed due to him being on the Baytril (gotta space them out)....or if it’s due to him being dehydrated and wants his fluids....i can’t put my finger on it...i don’t have a clue...but his restlessness makes me not sleep from 4-5 (at 5 he gets his insulin and fluids) and i manage to go to bed for 1 hr....i’m not at all complaining...i’m just puzzled....
He ate well at shot time and again a small snack at 6.15 am (Baytril at 6.30)....i managed to syringe feed him some more food at 7 before heading out the door....everything goes bad after that Baytril....
Going home to check on him at lunch....
This bean is pretty tired....i’m a walking zombie...waiting to hear from the vet to see how much longer on the Baytril he has....currently i have enough until this coming Sunday.....
We both need your prayers and healing vines.....

can someone do me the favour of linking last condo here....
 
I know you must be so exhausted, I think the emotional aspect is more taxing than physically getting up to take care of Rocket.
But the good news is he's eating, thats wonderful to read!
Continued prayers and healing vines
 
HE ATE!!!! When i got home from lunch he had eaten as his dish was not quite full and all messy...no idea when he ate...i gave him fresh food and he nibbled on it....i gave him very little via syringe and when i left him he was playing with a new toy with feathers he got yesterday (thanks MJ)...he was alert and seemed to know we were there for a little bit....
A small victory! I’m happy!
BTW....he NEVER plays with the feathers unless I sit with him and play....
 
Way to go Rocket! Messy eating is A-OK with your momma!
And hearing that he was playing a little with feathers... well, that just warms my heart!
 
Rocket Man Jets back to better health!! He is amazing & so is his bean Claudia!!
Moonie got the same feather toy. thanks MJ, & she likes it too!
Continued Prayers for our lovey Boy Rocket!! Hugs & Love from us! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Hi Claudia & Rocket,
Good news about Rocket eating and playing. :thumbup Keep it up, Rocket! Claudia, your schedule sounds daunting and we're sending lots of strength vines to you. Interesting about the blinds. Stu enjoyed rattling the blinds (and everything else). I think it's a type of play--a good sign!
Hang in there,

Many hugs,
Ella & Rusty
