Re: Diet after GDV Surgery Thanks for the words of wisdom. I stopped by the vet's office this morning and he had me get Greta some baby food. She ate it happily. I am feeding her a couple of ozs every two hours like a baby. I guess she just doesn't feel up to anything solid or semi-solid yet, and that's fine. We'll work up to eating that nasty smelling Hill's l/d canned food that the vet wants her to eat. We are going for very short, slow walks (more like a shamble!). I think she has a shot at recovering.
The best thing of all that happened today is that she wagged her nub at me which she hasn't done since last week before her surgery. Greta is normally a happy, goofy dog so that was the best sign that she could give me that she is feeling better. |
