Pupcake 2 has a tummy upset - very loose stools. Been on chicken & rice for nearly a week and only a little improvement, so we're back to the vet tonight. I suspect they will tell us to starve her for 24 hours. I am feeling stupidly anxious about this (am 38 weeks pg with DC1 so my usual practical nature is a bit lacking!). How on earth do I starve her and feed the other one? It seems so cruel to feed Pupcake 1 but not her. DH has very helpfully said to put her out of the way, but where? Anywhere in the house and she will hear him being fed. DH will be at work come breakfast time tomorrow.
She's a rescue dog - very badly neglected in the past and half starved when we got her. She gets very anxious over food (i.e. if she thinks she's missing out will cry). I also tend to feed a lot of their food as rewards, rather than just in the bowl, so they'll both be a bit baffled by that, won't they?
Also, will it just be one meal she misses? If I feed them dinner at 5pm tonight, they can eat again at 5pm tomorrow, yes?
I know I'm blowing this all out of preportion. Honestly, before I was pregnant I would just have knuckled down and gotten on with it! Can somebody come and hold my hand and tell me pupcake won't think I'm an evil mummy tomorrow?
