Sometimes... I feel like I'm talking to myself, lol. One of these days there will be a whole page of just me posting! ( Not saying that no one is reading or replying, just that I obviously talk a lot, you should meet me in person!)
Okay, evening report. Didn't eat much more, two more "bites" basically what I put in her shelf. BUT, we did have some really good mouth movements. I think she was almost ready to strike but then my youngest come into the room... she was holding on the the rim of the cup/bowl trying to get close enough and get a good spot, good tongue movement. So I think the fluids really helped, I have 3 subq treatments, I did small amounts as not to overload her kidneys.
The best part of the day was my daughter calls down and is like... "Mom.... you might want to come here..." I'm yell back hold on, I'm helping Andi with her homework... then I go up there and see the craziest sight. Wish I had a camera ready and there I would've taken a pic of her ambition for lack of better terms.
I guess I should give a little back story. I put in a water drip using IV tubing for her, and I was thinking if I put it closer down she could just drink off of it, my thought was if I put a tree or something to drip onto she'd climb up it... soooo, I'm sure you experienced owners know exactly where this is going. I had the tubing over to the door where I could squeeze it through without crimping it, so it was basically running from one corner to the other, and there she was just hanging up in the top corner by the door, a front let, a back leg, and her tail... how she got up that far without falling, I have no idea. But I moved the tubing, and she kept eying it...
This whole thing brought me to a new perspective. What if... she's not eating because she feels good enough to want to be comfortable and feel safe... So, I put her other shorter plant in for her, and bunched it up next to her pitiful looking vine plant she's been mauling. I figured if she can climb the little zip line there, she's pretty safe on those two plants. I put her on that plant in fact by the dish, perching above the worms off the plant ( I always make sure she's higher than them because that's how she ate before ) and this has been the best response in several days.
I think the fluids are helping as well, I plan to continue them at least tomorrow and probably until she's eating again, either her soup or her bugs. I probably should have kept on it before, I just feel so bad with all of her shots, then adding more. We're going to have to change her name to Pin Cushion... actually every animal here has at least two names, so perhaps that's her last name, Pascal Pincushion, has a ring to it.
Tonight's weight was 24, so between fluids, the few bites, and whatever she might have drank before climbing up the tubing she gained 2 grams. Not bad for a day I think.
Sorry for the novel, I actually shortened it some!
