i just got home again. she has like 3 of our shirts in her kennel for smell. anyway, i believe she looks better than last night. her tail wagged more and she was sleeping soundly when we walked in. last night she seemed agitated, wouldn't lay down, and seemed restless. we sat on the floor outside of her cage with the door open while she slept on and off occasionally opening her eyes to look at us and falling back asleep. she vomited today again but i'm hoping tomorrow is the day she starts feeling better. she's still on IV but she seems comfortable tonight so i'm trying to focus on that.

today is her 4th full day at the vet. every day that goes by i know her chances dramatically increase. i just hope she feels better.

so i went to the vet twice today. once around 12 pm and around 7 pm. stayed about 1.5 hrs each time.

the first visit, layla was looking better. she's more alert but still very weak and sleepy. she apparently had vomited around 5 am that morning (i think?) but had not had any blowouts that day thus far. after greeting us, she laid back down and took a pretty peaceful nap. she would occasionally open her eyes and look at us and would fall back asleep.

the second time, she had still not vomited that day. they were saying she would most likely be tried on an I/D bland diet later tonight to see if she could hold it down. we were so happy. within 10 minutes of seeing her, she vomited for the first time today. pretty horrible thing to witness. anyway, she was cleaned up. she was standing and seemed in good spirits after having thrown up. i was blowing raspberries at her because it's something she's always liked (i don't know why) and proceeded to wag her tail SO hard and was wriggling around and shoving her head into me. i'm glad she was cheered up. we left around 9 and she had not thrown up again the last time we spoke to the vet (around 11.)

if all goes well, she'll be tried on food tomorrow if the vet gives the go. they said she's doing well and wags her tail every time they go in to check on her. trying to be optimistic and she's slowly improving. i miss her so much and i just want her home so i can spoil and pamper her.

in other news, apparently my mother's yellow nape parrot is courting my min-pin because it's mating season. i wish i could witness that.
