naicha is recovering

John took Naicha to the vet's first thing in the morning yesterday. Since Naicha is still having a hard time breathing, the doctor did an X-ray scan on her in fear that her lung is filled with water.

The good news was that her lung was not as bad as the doc thought, and the bad news was that it would take a lot of effort and time for Naicha to fully recover.

Naicha is taking two kinds of meds (1 1/2 pills each for her size). She's pretty good at taker her meds over all... because we make her! We're also using a syringe to feed her baby food because she was not eating her food. (We do dilute the baby food with water so it's easier to "shoot" the food and it also helps her get more liquid.)

She does manage to drink plenty of water, and still pays attention to the other dogs and cats even though she's still having a fever.

The doctor said we should be able to see her progress in a couple of days.
