Slowly Upward

Indigo appears on her way to recovery. Late last night, after a couple of force-feedings, which did not find favour with her, she at last ate again on her own, lapping up a small but decent amount of Recovery soft-food. She also moved about much more than she had during the last few days, wandering out of the bedroom a couple of times. She also drank some water. For breakfast and lunch, she ate more Recovery.

While this is very good, she needs to eat more, and to use the litter-box. I know that she hadn’t taken much in over the previous days, but I worry about the constipation that had her backed up. She has released some of what was inside, but I hope for more.

Indie is taking her medicine with as little enjoyment as her syringe-feeding, but I think it is getting into her. Except for the Restoralax, which can be given in her food, or with a pudding treat, and the fluids, which she accepted a second time with calm, the medicine will be finished by the end of this week.

In the meantime, Indigo is catching up on her sleep, of which her troubles deprived her. If things continue as they are now, she will be well again by next weekend.
