Just an update for you all, she is doing great:) She has been eating every day and gaining weight. We went back to the vet for her recheck and second dose of dewormer (just in case, remember we couldn't see anything in her stool) The vet decided to give her another vitamin injection because her...
Ok thanks for the tip Maggie I will keep an eye on that. She finished her food today also. I gave her seconds just in case she was still hungry. I hope she keeps this up even after the appetite stimulate wears off.
