Thank goodness Miss Moo finished up the last of her antibiotics this morning. She was getting less and less enthusiastic about taking them. And she was getting more and more constipated. A few days ago she didn’t feel like eating, but still managed to barf up a bunch of unchewed food. Yum. It’s been a tough couple of days.
She went back to the dentist today for a follow-up. Dr. Côté said that her gums hadn’t healed up as much as she expected, but they looked OK. She gave Moo some fluids because she was a little dehydrated. She also suggested cleaning out Moo’s eye boogers with some saline solution like you’d use with contact lenses. Brilliant! I wish I had thought of that. It seems so obvious now. Dr. Côté wants to see Moo again next Monday, just to check her gums one more time. I’m hoping that will be it. I’m sure Moo has had enough after 4 trips to the vet in 4 weeks.
As soon as Moo got back home, she ate and then pooped. Finally! Now she’s resting much more comfortably on the back of the couch. I can hardly wait to curl up in bed and relax with her tonight. I expect to hear a big, Mooie sigh of relief.
