| Definitely! The unflavored kind. Do you have a syringe? You need to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | YES...and Nurtical - I had my vet give me plastic syringes - and if you don't have one - You can get something at a drugstore in the baby section... but please get some water in her ASAP...Even squeezing water from a cotton ball will work... Maybe put her water in a different dish - try ice cubes...or any container to see if you can get water in her - if not - use the syringe. |

| Have to make sure that she gets some kind of fluid into her. Whether they are puppies or adults they have to take in water or they can dehydrated which will lead to other things. Have you even tried chicken broth? Put it on her nose and then lead her to the bowl with your finger...

| You could try the Pedialyte popsicles also. My vet recommend those for Cordelia when she was sick.

| Someone on here the other day said their vet recommended the green Gatorade. It's easier to find if you don't have Pedialyte and basically the same thing.

| NO honey! But put a teaspoonful milk per deciliter (milk=1/water=10) in her bowl and watch the miracle. Do NOT give her too much or she will have a runny stomach. But a small amount will make her drink

| I don't know why honey is bad - I just know it because babies can't have it and there are some simiolarities to the stomach of a baby and a dog as far as I heard.

| I'm getting her to drink 16 cc of pedalite 3 times a day. If you could see her, she just looks so sad, and so sick. It's killing me. I have an appointment with the vet on Monday at 1:20. I'll update you all after I get home from the vet. |
