Keeping fingers crossed re The Gabster. The anti-nausea injection lasts 24 hours, and from about 8pm last night to early afternoon today, things were golden. No accidents during the night. Gaby was her own self, eating and licking crumbs off the floor and harassing King. When I got home tonight, though, she was a little subdued. She didn't want any of the hypoallergenic dog biscuits, which she has loved to this point. She looked at times like a person who was battling bad heartburn or an urge to throw up, sitting still every so often and swallowing hard.

But. She still played with King. Ran around outside and barked. I gave her the hypo food mixed with a little of the rabbit--she licked off the rabbit, and once more left the hypo food, which looks like coffee (with milk) colored tofu and is frankly gross. No diarrhea or vomiting since yesterday.

Aaaand after one episode of my pilling her by tossing said pill down her throat, she now runs when she sees me take a pill out of a bottle. I had to chase her around the coffee table, then order her to sit, to give her the evening dose. But, it's down.

Wish I had a stash of that anti-nausea med. I know it just treats the symptoms, but still. I'd learn to give her the shots myself.

I ordered rabbit-based food from k9cuisine.com. The place is in Illinois, so I will have my order tomorrow. The food is called Instinct, and is made by a company called Nature's Variety. I spoke with a very nice lady at k9 named Margaret for a good half hour--we discussed different types of food and various dietary issues that our dogs and friends' dogs were going through. Then she walked my order to the shipping department to make sure it went out today. Nice folks.

We'll see how tonight goes.
