Well...
She can only keep down about 1/2 ounce at a time. She threw up the full ounce that I first gave her last night.
I gave her 1/2 ounce before bed, though, and she kept it down. DH just got home, though, and it looks like she threw up what I gave her this morning. We're picking up A/D this afternoon. Hopefully she'll be able to keep that down.
Unfortunately, both DH and I have to work during the day, and there's not anybody who could come and feed her while we're gone, so we have to get her feeding done in the morning and evening. Also, I have to leave on a business trip tomorrow. I feel just awful about it, but I don't have a choice...I can't afford to lose my job right now. To miss this meeting at this point would be that serious...they've been great through the medical crisis I've had for the last 8 months, but I just can't push it any more. DH feels confident that he can handle it, and I know he'll do his best, but I just HATE that I won't be there.
I kind of felt like the vet was a bit doubtful about her responding to the syringe feeding when I talked to her today. She says if this doesn't work we'll have to decide whether to hospitalize her or euthanize her. I'm not sure how long we can afford to hospitalize her if it comes to that. The timing on this stinks...we've had to deplete much of our savings to deal with my hospital bills and his mother's death in June.
