Breakthrough!

[fatrockstar]

Last night Grady ate an entire plate of wet food. When I say an entire plate, I mean about two tablespoons. After that I was making tuna salad and he came to beg me for tuna. I gave him a small chunk and he ate that right up. This morning I could see more of the bottom of his kibble dish than I'd seen in ages.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that this surge in appetite is due to the appetite stimulant the doctors prescribed for him because I don't remember giving it to him that morning. He ate throughout the night, which is good. This morning I tube-fed him about half of what I normally do in order to get meds into him.

This is very encouraging. Maybe next week we can get that tube removed!

See, I knew this would happen the minute I stocked up on prescription food for the week.

Oh, that's very good news!

I'm rooting for the little bugger. (And for you, too.)

Good boy!

Excellent!

(And it always happens after you stock up on food.)
