Ouch ! Well, any RAW mince, (raw meat, esp. mince is much softer and easier to swallow.. trust me .. I am a big 'steak tartare fan ) with all the other goodies , such as small quantities juiced/pureed veg , eggs, yoghurt, and some nice pourable porridge with a bit of butter to help keep him warm and full :) Did they suggest a feeding schedule? I would be inclined to maybe do at least 4 small meals a day ... so there is less pressure on the area , and so the oesophagus doesn't have to stretch much....or for very long . hope he gets comfortable very soon :)

Is the soft food temp. or permanent? because of gut problems?throat problems, or mouth problems? is it part of other treatment ... if it's a temporary thing, you can get away with more stuff like yoghurt, plain mince, scambled egg etc ....whereas if it's permanent .. there needs to be a better balance of nutrients... and obviously, if dog is having digestive issues... some foods are best left alone :)

Esky .. can the vet help you at least settle her on her favourite bed in your car ? She will be surrounded there by smells of her family - be warm, and you can cuddle her and love her to ease her on her way . neither of you need extra stress now ... Take care

Oh- esky..I am so sorry you have this to go through now ....

Ohhh, esky ..... poor little girl, I hope they can keep her comfortable . -
What sort of infection is it exactly? Did the vet name the particular bacteria, or was it started by a fungal infection , or irritation perhaps? What diet is your dog on ? Does he have any itchy times..or chew his feet at all? I would NOT suggest using any over the counter stuff for a recurring /nasty infection . What I would suggest is finding out exactly why it is happening ..and then adjust things to minimise it. If the current vet is not giving you any other help/information other than antibiotics ...perhaps try another vet? yes, too much un necessary medication for anything is not a good thing, however, if the correct medication, plus a management plan, is used ..then things should resolve... Worst case scenario... and not all that common ..is to have surgery which opens up the ear canal to let air in, and make it much less a desirable place for nasties to live.

Not Sure If I've Already Mentioned This Image Editor

This morning, I took this snap of an Apostlebird with my little old sony cybershot .. then spent a couple of minutes in sagelight ... Certainly no prize winner- and it is not intended to be ..but I just can't get over how stress free this program is for me to use , when PS literally brings me out in a sweat, and GIMP totally confuses me . Now I can play with no worries . (and I DO) :p -
The look on her face is just wonderful ... :)

Glad she is staying in hospital for a while :) you have a crate - that's good .. BUT .. make sure there is plenty of room for the recovering leg to be stretched out fully and comfortably without touching the sides..and that there is plenty of turning around room/getting up on feet room without having to need to swivel that leg.
