Around 8:30pm, I went to say good night to Oscar at the clinic,
bringing freeze dried chicken treats with me on a hunch. Victor Martinez...
Oscar looked like a total zombie, but when I got there she made the effort to move forward and rub her face on me. I gave her a piece of the chicken, and suddenly she showed signs of life. After gnawing on that, she discovered the dish of dried food (which had been sitting there all day) and devoured its contents, then "discovered" the litterbox (same deal) and peed for about a minute straight. The vet and I decided that, despite initial thoughts, she'd probably be better off at home, without all of the other animals, smells, and sounds. Plus, I have the crate. Oscar has been very good about her paw, so we are trying her with no collar. That means I have to watch her tonight, and if she starts licking it again, we will need to go back and get her into the collar. They say they have see through ones that are much easier on the animals. In any case, there's no point in me trying to do it myself. So I've told her, if she's good she gets to stay home; if she's bad we have to go back to the bad place. She seems okay in the crate so far. I plan to leave her in there over night, and then in the morning I might let her out to poke around a little bit. But then, how many times has the plan changed since Monday morning? Adrian A...
