oh my, i feel so bad for nala, she is so hungry this morning and all i could give her was 1/4 cup of white rice, she was so hungry i gave her another 1/4. today i can add some hambuger meat, not a lot but at least it will be something. counting today 3 days of this to go, she looks so skinny to me. after this she can only start with small amts. of dog food. she must feel like she is being punished. at least the injection for stopping the throw up worked, and last night she actually played with her bone. i wish i was home today to give her more food sooner. feel so bad.
my food intake hasnt been great the past 2 days, not awful but not totally fulfilling what im supposed to do. karin, i added granola to the yogurt, wow what a difference, it was so good! thanks for the idea. yesterday i didnt have pinnapp;e, just a few strips of chicken, well i guess its better then nothing. i felt hungry off and on, but didnt eat, even my additional foods are becoming a pattern of a certain time to eat them, shit. at least i can tell dr. drew about my challenge foods. i think im a bit down, not fully depressed, just down, blah, dont care about much of anything, this has been going on for a bit, im riding it out.
went to see bill next door and he has all sorts of people coming over to work with him, nurse, nutriniost, psyical therapist, someone to clean and help him bathe, this he is refusing to let happen. i hope all this will help him to get mobile again and want to eat. i think he is depressed and he has told me he gets panic attacks. i feel very bad for him, thank god he has his children near by.
off to work

I\'m glad you like the granola.
Listen to yourself Ann how much it hurts you that nala can\'t eat enough and has to go hungry. How come you aren\'t sad for doing that to yourself for many years. Just some food for thought ( no pun intended )
wow karin, i never thought of it that way! very interesting
Congrats on the Granola! I just made some homemade cranberry granola and it is amazing! I mix it with my cereal in the morning with milk or put it in yogurt for a snack! I don\'t know how up you are for attempting to cook some of your own, but I\'d be more than willing to give you the recipe!!
Agree with Karin here. And it kind of goes with both Nala and you\'re neighbor Bill. You feel bad for both and hope both of them can eat more. And become physically healthier.....sound familiar? That\'s what all your friends are thinking about you.
Rg Nala, I\'m surpirsed that they suggested hamburger meat and not chicken....usually it\'s rice and chicken...hmm. Another idea is that when you start to give her kibble again, soften/mositen it a little with warm water so that it is easier to digest.
Also- this is the best online resource I have found in regards to heartworm in dogs. I\'m sure you have read everything out there, but just incase. http://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/canine-heartworm.html
thanks steph, i have given her chicken, not hambuger.it is just my nature to want thiose i love to be ok, when danny went through a mini starving faze about 4 rs ago and lost a ton of weight i was crazed, begging him to eat. i would love the recipe for granola! i have a theory on why i am having a hard time with the new foods, i think i took on to many challenge foods and i am overwhelmed, i only had to add something , even a small amt, but adding more almonds, the granola, trying the chicken a few days, i am overwhelmed right now and feel sick and fat.
thanks for the site, very usefull
