Sadly, full recovery is probably not going to happen . She has developed megaoesophagus. We have had no symptoms of it at home, and she has no neurological indicators. So my vets are trying to find why this could be the case. But prognosis is pretty guarded. I think its better to be realistic about expectation.
We can buy her a special chair to feed her in, . Because she must never reach down for food or water again. ( she eats from a raised food and water bowl already, so it may have concealed problems) but she LOVED eating from our hands this evening, and even more, found being allowed to the table incredible. I have always been pleased not to have begging dogs, but now will be encouraging it, to keep her upright after meals, so food travels in the right direction.
She is a very wonderful girl however, and while this evening she is much happier, I will not let her linger if she is how she was earlier when we collected her. I want the same consideration.
I'm so sorry Elle!
I hear you about the last paragraph though.
When our first cat developed kidneyproblems with old age, we tried special food and stuff when in retrospect we had to realize that we held on too long, for our sake and not for her.
