Lucy is Back To Feeling Better

A new Lucy Update! Lucy is back to her old self. We’ve been back in Kentucky exactly 10 days. The first days were sketchy at first yes. I try to keep a routine but it isn’t always easy. She’s been back into a solid routine and now we are seeing the results. All meds she takes are given orally now. She’s still a picky eater. I’m not quite sure what changed with her, but she’s more than happy to take meds with a bit of tuna fish. There once was a time where oral meds slipped into food were a hard no.

Her spirits are good. She wakes me up around 7:15 am. on time, every morning. Waiting for her first meal of tuna.

Meds and Other Stuff

Lucy loves a good chin scratch as you can see from the photo. Lucy’s back to demanding attention every morning. In a previous Lucy update, I believe I mention we are trying to ween her off the alprazolam but she is much better tempered on it. It also stimulates appetite which I think I’ve mentioned before. I now add the alprazolam into the cocktail in the morning tuna fish.

I think from all of the attention that she has actually gained some weight. Lucy has not been on a scale since the vet came, so we aren’t sure what her weight is yet. I will update you when we know more. She definitely looks plumper, if that’s a thing then yeah, she looks healthier all around. I am offering food constantly and she is more than happy to eat it. She is on the diet we started before we left.

Her day now consists of a solid routine. She has become very vocal and social again. She wakes me up between 7 am and 7:30 am for her first meal like an alarm clock.

Here’s a little video of bath time today. Enjoy! Thanks for reading.
