That sounds more positive than what I read before about Toos. Hope the little thing is feeling better and has a better appetite. :)

i cannot begin to describe how insane the change in her has been. ok i'm gonna get emotional with you anon, lets bond.

on the last vet visit she had, last friday, so a week ago now, the vet was convinced the pills weren't working because her kidneys went from stage 3 to stage 4 within a half a week or so, and that there was a good chance she's suffering and that we should say enough. the vet then essentially told my dad to book the appointment to have her put to sleep, without consulting my mother or me, because she was that bad. as it was a weekend, he could only book it for monday morning, very early. and so he did. we believed the weekend was the last days we'd have with her.

but over the weekend.. she changed. she went from being unable to stand, walk, eat, do anything, to having.. life and energy again. to eating whole chicken breasts and taking her pills beautifully, she drinks lots, to being able to walk around our large garden and do laps, her toilet is regular and looks healthy. it was like actively watching her fight to get better despite everything. so we cancelled the appointment, and bought more pills, since she didn't have more than the weekends worth.

we've been making sure she eats daily, switching up her meals if she refuses, she's been eating chicken, rice, egg, salmon, mackerel, ham, various other things and dog treats, she's been taking her pills too. sometimes she struggles, and it takes awhile for her to eat or take her pills, but she always does every day without fail. she's started to bark again, to wag again, her head is held high, her ears are perky, she runs! she was running! and she's kissed me!!! it's almost been confusing for my brain like, she's just like toos again, but i know she isn't, and i need to be mindful, but oh my god? she's just a normal dog again.

of course she has moments, especially after waking, where she is very wobbly and weak and it takes her awhile to wake up proper and get strong again. and she also sleeps all the time. but man, she's really doing okay. i mean - today has been not great, this is the worse she's been this week, but man.. considering we thought we had a weekend.. i can't begin to tell you how happy i am having a week with her where she's been herself. i'm still hopeful, maybe today was an off day, but if it isn't.. i can't be disappointed. she's fought so hard, yknow? she's such a brave lil baby. i love her so much
