This is the only possible way to describe this evening. When I got back from the store to get chicken, Daisy had thrown up again. But this time it wasn't clear then most of the time. Usually the most she throws up is water. This time she threw up mostly stomach fluid. So off I went with the cleaning routing. And that stomach fluid is sticky. I didn't torture poor Daisy with another bath, just cleaned her paws.
Then I went the get the chicken started. When it was done I tried to convince Daisy to eat at least some. But she just put her head away an refused it. I even tried it with a piece of pastry, but she didn't even want to sniff it. She just ignored it. At that point I knew there was something seriously wrong with her. Because I never could get her to leave a piece of pastry alone on the floor for 5 minutes and especially not for a couple of hours.
That what I did realize is, that Daisy was a little more alert due to the injection but she was kinda restless. Haven't seen her that way in a long time. As the evening went on the attacks of her throwing up continued. It was all stomach fluid. And it was hard to watch. Since there is nothing you can do about that. The only thing left to do was to clean the mess up and give her lots of attention and lots of loving. I finally got her to drink a little bit of water. At least with the few sips there is a better chance that she keeps a little of that water down. When I went to bed at about 4 am my poor girl had at least thrown up 12 times or so. That really made my heart hurt. And at some level I knew if the VET can't find cure for Daisy's problem quickly, that I will have her put to sleep. The one thing I was not going to do is to watch her slowly waste away. That's just cruel and she deserves so much better.
