Thanks for all the information everyone! I think that maybe we didn't realize the seriousness of it all until it was too late. We just thought she had a stomach ache.
She did however eat several times a day. She had chow and a can of wellness each morning and evening and was given chow whenever she wanted.
She had been underweight by at least 15 lbs. when we got her and the doc wanted to try to put on some weight. The funny thing is that she was a very very light eater. And fussy too.
However, the gulping of the water was indeed something she did. She was a stray in Puerto Rico when she was found and I guess she had taught herself to drink when she could. I had thought she would be an aggressive eater to but no, she really ate very little.
Gawd, the guilt I feel now because we didn't realize how sick she was for several hours is killing me. I feel like a monster.
Thanks for all the feedback!!!!
