His appetite has improved quite a bit and hes drinking more water when we feed him from the bowl. Tats also a reason why he has been peeing a lot these few days. We have also started feeding him calcium pills and done a stew and blend of chicken necks as Concordia told us that the bones from the chicken necks are good natural source of calcium... but it has to be boiled really long to soften the bones.
Eating twice a day, he has yet to pass any motion as yet since he came back from the hospital. The last time he poo was last Friday evening when we went to see him. We stopped the calcium pills and chicken neck mix yesterday as we were concern that it might cause constipation. We were a little worried and called Concordia to check with her how can we help him to pass motion. She told us to add some olive oil to his food to help his bowels.
We did that yesterday evening during his feed and was hoping that at night, he would poo.. but he didnt... today morning, I was thinking that by noon if he does not poo, I'll have to call Concordia for further advise. My last 7 mins before I leave home, was spending some time with him and he poo-ed!!! It's amazing when he does little wonders like this to just ease my worry. The first was before his surgery and now this. Its funny how this little guy reassures just when it was at the height of a worry.
It was nice of Concordia to call today to check on Bianco and she was glad that everything is alright. At the mention of 'Aunty' referring to Concordia, Bianco will raise his ears and look around for her.....
We have also been doing his routine rotation of his joints on all 4 legs once every 2.5hrs.......hopefully it will help to strengthen his muscles especially on his hind legs. Today, as I was doing some stretching on his hinds, I spread open his paws wide and tickled him .... his muscles flex a little and there was some real slight resistance trying to pull back..... hopefully its a good sign
Everyday during his feed, we will support him to stand up on all fours while eating. Hopefully it will help on his digestion and also help strengthen his muscles everyday.
Will try to take some videos during his feed tomorrow as my leave will start Tuesday PM till Friday. Hopefully during tis week, there'll be more improvements before seeing Dr Tan on Saturday.
