Update of the troubles..

Otto, although still not himself, is definitely on the mend. He is eating small amounts every hour or so and is not as depressed...he even chirps (his quirky little bark that sounds like a bird chirping...at least that is how it starts...it ends up with very annoying barking if I have ignored him about whatever he was chirping about.

Ocra won't eat but hasn't had diahrrea or gotten real sick. Lots of tummy sounds but stable so far. Only vomited once this morning and now on meds to keep her from vomiting. Just have to get her through the next few days with fluids and chinese meds to keep her from getting as sick as Otto. I'm sure the exploratory surgery, even though necessary at the time, didn't help his recuperation.
