| Did you ask the vet if it was possible to tube feed her? It may help to keep her caloric intake up and give her some nutrients until her body can get through this. I will pray for you and her. Poor baby! |

| hes been letting my rehydrate her but hes never mentioned tube feeding.. i think hes worried that her liver isnt making the glucose she needs so he basicly said put her to sleep or keep doing what i am now.. she refuses to eat weve been force feeding her with a baby dropper |

| I would call another vet! I would imagine that it is like when a human is ill. She does not feel like eating all that food and her body cannot deal with it. That is why I would tube feed her something liquid with alot of calories and nutrients until she is well enough to eat. Do you have a local 24 hr animal hospital you could call and go get a tube and some high calorie formula for her? How about a veterinary hospital at a local college? I would look in the phone book and start calling. It sounds like she is very ill. God Bless you and her for trying so hard. Hope any of this helps you. |

| The tube feeding wouldn't be so hard on her system. Feeding her the semi solid food makes her stomach and system work hard because it has so much to break down. I am pulling for her. |

| awe, poor baby... I agree, go to a different vet. They should be just as passionate as you are about saving your your puppy |
