Sophie is still experiencing morning sickness :(
Personally, we have never had a female experience morning sickness to this degree during pregnancy. So this is something new and quite frankly exasperating! When Mandi went through it she gave up "dog food" and cheese (one of her favorite things in the world). Sophie on the other hand, won't eat ANYTHING except peanut butter dog treats (that we make and have goat's milk, peanut butter, honey, olive oil, ww flour, rolled oats, and wheat germ in them. These I think are acting like saltines would for a pregnant person going through morning sickness), cheese, pancakes, and chicken. That's it. Believe me, we have tried almost everything. From what I've been reading, this is normal, and shouldn't last anymore than about 10 days (we are on day 9). However, as a Dog Mom, I want her to eat her food soooo bad and when she doesn't I feel helpless. However, when this phase is over, if what they say is true, she will eat her food with a vengence to make up for the time she wasn't eating. Oh how I wish that day was here now! On a positive note, she is not vomiting. We thought she had thrown up, but it was actually Frank who wasn't feeling so good because of a hematoma on his ear. It's when a blood vessel ruptures and can happen from a dog shaking their head too hard, or in Frank's case scratching it too hard. Frank is fine now, they extracted the blood that caused it to swell and gave him some stuff for it. Sophie is also drinking lots of water, and isn't acting strange except she's more lovey dovey (those crazy hormones) :)
We sure hope that Sophie feels better soon!!

I'm sure she will, Sophie usually eats really well. She's not like our picky Mandi and Koda. Thank you for your well wishes :)
ReplyDeleteHope they're right, and day 10 is the last of it! Better have lots of food ready :) Hope we can get the peanut butter doggie treat recipe from you, so we can make them for our little Molly! The Ebeyers
ReplyDeletePoor, poor Sweet Sophie. Hang in there, girl... Things will get better!
