Here are a couple videos I sent to Dale of Athena eating today. Still shots from the videos are shown in the previous post. She's interested in her dietary care wet food but not at all in the dry. I haven't tried to reintroduce her to the bland diet mixture of rice and hamburger that I made for her since she's so eager to eat the canned wet food.
Heading into the weekend has been stressful in that the vet won't be open past tomorrow morning. I'm resigned to the fact that having to take her to the emergency vet is a possibility. I panicked a bit this evening because she leaked quite a bit inside this evening. An inability to control her bowels increases the chance we may have to have a tough conversation about what might come next. The thought of her leaving us and the powerlessness I feel in being able to control that pushed me to despair and tears. I love this dog. She has added so much to my life. Her presence with us contributes to a sense of peace. She's been a huge comfort and emotional stabilizing force for both me and Dale.
