She spent most of the night last night with me on the bed. I can tell because if she's on the bed because I contort around her as to not disturb her in my sleep and my legs and lower back were all sorts of sore this morning, which is usually a good way to know I've been contorted most of the night. ;)

We gave her her usual morning meds including the cyproheptadine for appetite, but she only ate the gravy and a few meaty bits of her chicken flavored gravy lovers fancy feast this morning. She then went and laid on my side of the bed and stayed there resting quietly most of the day. I joined her for awhile and she snuggled with me some of the time, but was mostly content to be tucked behind my knees while I was curled up on my side. She was breathing a bit harder again today while we were laying there, so I had J come check her respirations--she was at around 40 breaths per minute, which is a smidge too fast, but nothing to be totally concerned about just yet.

Still, she's been unusually quiet. She's barely left the bed since late this morning near as I can tell. I brought her bowl to her around 1400 to see if she'd eat--she did nom down a bit more of the leftover meaty bits from breakfast, so that's good, but didn't finish the little bit that was there. We had some errands to run and stopped for a bite to eat at a mom-n-pop burger joint and were gone for a couple of hours. When we got back home I noticed a few more meaty bits were gone from her bowl and Lars' leftover meaty bits were gone from his bowl. I think Jazz got up and nommed while we were gone because Lars is not one to go back and eat his leftover meaty bits out of his bowl, but Jazz loves them. So hopefully it was her that ate them...

She was back on the bed in nearly the same spot she was when we left, head down, half asleep. I keep telling myself she went through two fairly substantial procedures this week both with sedation plus a quick bath last night because she shat and pissed herself in the carrier on the way home from the vet last night, so she should be this tired from all that action. But she's eerily quiet, and it's a bit disconcerting. :/ I gave her the PM dose of cyproheptadine about a half hour ago and will try to feed her a bit of a different gravy lovers flavor in a little while and see what happens. If she doesn't really eat that, then I'll give her some of the leftover turkey. I continue to be ever so worried about my sweet, sweet girl...
