I must have issues with nights because at 3 AM I had a very small episode where I collapsed but I was aware the entire time and did not have a seizure. It made momma sad and today I have seen a few more tears.

I also didn't want my peanut butter today (I know she is hiding pills in there) so instead she got me to eat some cheese. Momma also posted a new pic of me today. I stay alert but I'm still not moving around. She fixed my top knot a bit and I didn't object too much. I know I need a brushing since it has been days but brushing is stressful to me and mom is afraid to add stress to my already delicate situation. I know it breaks mom's heart to see me this way and I know she would like to see me the way I was and I hope to eventually get there but my little 9 pound body suffered a traumatic event that was worsened with the IV fluids and what I just need is time to take it all in and let the meds help me get to a point that is a bit more normal. Oy, my English teacher would be unhappy to see that run-on sentence. Oh well.

On a slight upside, I barked today. Just telling mom I love her and to perhaps find me something I might actually eat. I am getting chicken with brown rice but I really don't want the stupid rice. I try to get just the chicken out but that isn't working well. Mom does pick out some chicken and hand it to me. I also ate a few bites of pot roast.

Does anyfur know something good and healthy to eat that I might enjoy? Mom is trying to find a meal I will actually find more appealing than my chicken/rice. I am not trying to be picky I just don't have an appetite for most things right now.

I am sure a few more prayers and POTP would be helpful.

Muah!
Mia

I am sorry to hear that
I love chicken but together with my dog food and some carrots , or pumpkin - we love vegetables
Have you tried fish - white fish like filet of sole ? just boiled in water ?
Mommy don't be sad - Mia will pull through and you are in our thoughts and prayers

So sorry to hear you a bad night sweet girl. You just need time to recover from all you have been through the last few days & we are sending lots of prayers & POtP your way.

When Rain had to take pills she got wise to the peanut butter too & mom had to hide it in anything she would eat. Mainly cheese & a small piece of hotdog usually worked. And when I was recovering from liver failure a couple of years ago, mom fed me chicken & rice but I didn't like the rice too much until our vet told mom to add chicken broth to it, the low sodium kind. I also got baked salmon a lot & I loved it. The thing I loved most was sweet potatoes mixed in with the fish or chicken.

Get better soon Mia!
Lots of Love, Prayers & Hugs for you & your family
KJ, Rain & Teresa

Mom would really love to see me eat better. This morning I refused my scrambled eggs with bacon. I did take my pills with some sausage though. It has been hard to consistently get me to eat anything.

The one thing I did enjoy last night and ate fairly well was some boiled pollack. This morning I didn't want to touch that either. I heard mom saying something about picking up some baby food and some more fish and maybe some lunch meats that I might be interested in. My brothers are chomping at the bit to eat my food. They can't understand why I don't want it.

PS - thanks for the candle :)

Muah!
