Today didn't start off well. Jake refused to eat this morning. I was putting some wet food on my finger and then putting on his mouth to force him to lick it off. He was getting annoyed, so I stopped. I called the dr. because I was worried about him not getting his prednisodone. I was told to wait until the evening and call if he still isn't eating. I not only had to give him his 2nd dose of pred for the day, but it was day 3 of 4 for the chemo. I was nervous all day, expecting to come home to a full bowl of food. I kept thinking that if he doesn't eat, this is the end.
Thank God when I came home, the bowl was empty. I was SO happy! I gave him his 2 "cookies" (chemo), which he ate. Then I gave him the canned food with the pred, but he showed no interest again. By later in the evening he had started to pick at it a bit. I really hope the meds start kicking in soon and making him feel better. I miss Jake!
