It's a heavy day

50/30
6 cc Lasix IV 2x a day

A quick update as I have got to get to work. It is SUPER HUMID and warm today and it seems to be making breathing a bit more difficult for Parlay. Either that, or I am just carrying on in my crazy ways. No comments, please!

Parlay seems pretty quiet and content, despite the heaviness of the air. He is loosing weight so rapidly it is almost scary. I would say that he has probably lost about 50 lbs in 2 weeks. It is driving me crazy.

I have had some success finding something he will eat. So far it has been Strategy Ovals. Don't ask me why--I feed them as treats typically, but they ARE feed and I figured, what the heck?

As bland and as boring as they appear, he seems to be eating them. A trick? Maybe. Maybe he thinks that he is just getting a couple of pounds of treats. Whatever!

I am also in the testing stages of treat *vessels* for the supplements. Today we tried an apple cinnamon cookie. Parlay ate it, but gave it the shrug. I am trying some home made treats that are soft and squishy with the hopes that I can *Trojan Horse* a bunch of gel caps into them, once I find one that is too good to pass up. So far, he hasn't cared for anything that I have slaved over.

Meanwhile, the other two "Air Ferns," are reaping the rewards. They get treats, leftover feed, whatever hay that Par doesn't eat... holy cow are they getting FAT!!

Of course, the total lack of riding could be contributing to THAT as well. =-(

(sigh)

Oh well, off to make the donuts (and next round of treats--oat and raisin next)
