She snarfed down her breakfast yesterday with the quickness, then took several hours to eat her lunch and she barely ate 1/4 of her dinner before we had to put it up for the night so Lars wouldn't eat it while we were asleep. :(
Downloaded a very small liquid poo last night overnight with drops of liqui-poo all over the hallway, which tells me she was straining to get out what little she got out. This is Not Good. Tells me she's likely plugged up again, not a week after the last time... :(
She's barely touched her breakfast this morning, which also isn't a good sign. Right now I'm fearing her digestive organs/colon are starting to fail on her. What little she's uploading is not downloading in turn. I simply have been unable to dial in her go-potty meds in such a way that she doesn't end up plugged up, and I fear I won't be able to dial them in right anymore.
It would be highly ironic if digestive organ/colon failure took her before the kidney failure. We've been fighting the kidney disease much longer (since 9 March 2009) than the digestive issues. Sigh...
I'm delaying a call to the vet for two reasons. One, I want to give her a chance to right herself on her own, as Dr. B says that it might take her longer to download now that things are really slowing down. Secondly, selfishly, I have bowling tonight and an enema would mean needing to picking her up exactly around the time I start bowling. I don't want to miss a night of bowling, as it's one of my few stress releasing outlets right now. I feel horrible about that, but one more day won't likely hurt my girl. It never hurt my Diva girl when we'd wait a little longer to bring her in when she was badly constipated, so it shouldn't hurt Jazz either.
I just don't know what to do anymore. She's alert and wants lovins and pettins. She's "singing the songs of her people", and loudly, too--something she stopped doing when she was really sick about a month ago. She's still eating enough to get by. She doesn't seem in discomfort. But I can tell, I just know in my gut, that she's at least in the beginning of starting to leave us.
Here's another kicker--I've got a weekend long bachelorette party I've accepted the invitation to in the city. I would be gone from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, leaving J to care for Jazz on his own. I have all faith in his ability to care for her, there's not a doubt there. What I worry about is she'll take a turn for the worse while I'm in the city and he'll be forced to come fetch me in order to make Big Decisions about her future during that time. Again, I'm being selfish--I don't want to cancel this--it's something I've been looking forward to and I've already invested some money into the weekend by purchasing a ticket to a show we're all going to in advance. I think Jazz should be fine while I'm gone, but I just have no way of knowing.
Then there's the wedding coming up on the 12th in Rockford. We'll be gone overnight for that. Do we board her or just give her her treatments before we leave and hope for the best? I just don't know...
Right now I'm stressed out enough about my girl that my guts are hurting even though I took my acid reducing meds as normal this AM. This is Not Good, Not Good at all... :(
My poor sweet girl!! :(
