she was lying down on her side, looking very sleepy and tired. Well, I got a friendly wag from her to say hello but she made no attempt to get up or come near me. She just continued to lie on her side as I sat down next to her.
Dr L said that most of the day, she will be resting like this. She has been eating some meat and there is no more vomiting since yesterday, which is good.
Shortly, JT arrived. JT was among the first few who encountered Mama Girl and she visits Mama Girl and her pack now and then. Mama Girl heard her voice and her tail starting wagging, and she lifted up her head to say hello, but then she continued to lie down and rest.

Mama Girl continuing to rest when we arrive, showing no keenness to get up at all.
Dr L suggested that we take her out for a walk, get some fresh air. But even as we coaxed Mama Girl, she just didn't want to get up! I was getting a bit worried at her reluctance to get up. We then had to physically carry her and place her on all fours. Then as if a switch was suddenly turned on, Mama Girl perked up and walked...even trotted...out of the door to the outside! A 180 degrees change and I am relieved!

She didn't want to walk too much though so we followed her pace, her leading, sitting outside for a bit to let her soak up some morning sun.
After a while, she led us back to the clinic and we settled down at the back part, as she laid down again to rest by the door to the clinic. Dr L should be taking her off drip today. Again, we are not too sure when Mama Girl is fit to be discharged. We're taking it one day at a time.
For sure, it's best for Mama Girl to go to a home for rest and recovery, and not back to a farm where huge vehicles ply at times recklessly and where she could be vulnerable to abuse by foreign workers there when we cannot keep an eye on the pack, and being weaker, she will be very vulnerable to various elements.
So, do keep an eye open for a very good and loving family for such a good and loving girl.

Thanks so much for posting the videos, I think they bring the reality of Mama Girl's vulnerability to live on this portal of encouraging exchanges. Reading these, watching these snippets of Mamagirl from faraway... I am so sorry I'm not there to help, to connect with a dog with such gentle, loving nature. Godspeed to Mamagirl.

Be strong, Mama Girl, and get better soon ! My idea of paradise will be an unlimited space for all the homeless animals to live in peace and harmony and love.
