January 2, 2007 (Tuesday)

I hand-fed Ashley today. She ate 2-3 times today eating 1/4-3/8 of a can of food. I have been feeding her 1/8 of a can of food at each feeding. She is drinking on her own, as well as going pee. She is becoming increasingly difficult to give her prednisone pills. We are using a pill administrator for animals (or pill popper), but she still fights and manages to spit out the pill.

I called Dr. Harris’ office to ask again if she can get another cortisone injection to help reduce swelling, as she is having a lot if problems swallowing. They said she could. Dr. Harris’ office said to call Dr. Wellman and tell him if he has any questions, to have him call them.

Dr. Wellman’s office asked me to bring Ashley in about 4 p.m. When we got Ashley there, Dr. Wellman gave her an injection of Methylprednisolone at about 4:30 p.m.
