Oh god! How sad and terrible! This hit me close to home, as I have a dog whose back leg was amputated before I got him and I constantly worry about the remaining leg. It sounds like your coworker WANTS to do the best for the dog, but has been miseducated. I mean, it’s EASIER to give a dog regular food rather than baby food — your coworker must think she is doing something GOOD for her pet. I think you’re right about printing out some information for her, including nutrition info, etc. Also maybe have her watch video to see how active a dog in a chair really can be. It sounds like both she and the dog have been traumatized by this and may need some help getting through it — if it wouldn’t offend her, I would even suggest some grief counselling.
