Yay Poop!
Chewy left us two shiny, oily piles this morning and started eating again. Bermuda of all things, which she is usually very reluctant to eat. She ate two pounds of her senior feed and I gave her a little more this afternoon. Marty also gave her some applesauce and alfalfa pellets, which she wasn't as keen on the alfalfa pellets this morning, but ate a good amount last night.
She doesn't like me giving her the electrolytes with the syringe and I don't blame her on that. Now she needs to start eating and drinking regularly and we're good. Chatham did pull some blood Saturday and will let me kniw when the results come in and see if there is anything underlying going on. I also want him to do a thorough oral exam as she is still quidding feed, like yesterday when I was hand grazing her. She was keen on the grass and I should probably do some more this evening, but she would occasionally wad it up and drop it. She did have her teeth done just a couple months ago because she stopped eating. The fronts were good, but the back teeth were weird and needed a good amount of work. I don't know if she has an ulcer or something in her mouth that is continuing to inhibit her full range of chewing motion.
I think I am done with the watercolor on this piece.
Now I need to attack it with colored pencils. Had I done it on watercolor paper I may have just continued with that, but I don't think the bristol board would hold up to it. It is a thicker paper, but I don't know how happy it would be with repeated wetting, plus I didn't plan for watercolor and didn't leave any highlights (of course that could be what a little bit of white gouache is for, but that's beside the point).
