The only shot she had a bad reaction to was the parvo booster but she didn't throw up she just had a fever and wasn't interested in food.
I'd be careful with the water, if she drinks a ton of it, it might make her tummy feel worse, especially if she's been puking. Jaden had some tummy problems a while back and my vet told me about the ice cube thing and said to make sure he wasn't gulping the water down since that could upset his stomache even more.
If she won't eat nutrical, try giving her this formula:
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup baby rice cereal
1 jar meat baby food, anything but turkey
1 tsp. karo or pancake syrup
Mix it all up and then in a syring fill it up to about 5 cc's or about 1 tablespoon and see if she'll eat that. Neither of mine have ever refused it even when they weren't feeling well. If she'll eat it, it'll give her energy and just might make her tummy feel better. I know as a human sometimes once you start feeling sick if you don't eat anything having that empty stomache with all that bile and acid in there can make you feel worse.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me, I'd be happy to share what I know from Jewelina having her shots..
Prayers for little Tatum! |
Thanks Joy - she only weighed 1 lb 9oz's at the vet today - at first she gained an ounce, and now I think she has actually LOST weight
I just worry about her because she is so so tiny, and my vet said that she will most definitely stay that way. She is just so fragile! She is now accepting the Nutri-Cal from me, but is still refusing any and all food, so if she doesn't eat SOMETHING before SHE goes to bed tonight (Lord knows I probably won't sleep, because I'll be up all night worried sick about her, watching her!
), I sure will be driving to the store at 1 a.m. to get the half and half, and baby cereal (already have chicken baby food on hand) if I have to. Anything to get her to eat. I am going to try and get her to eat for a little while longer, and if she still refuses, I'll be making a trip to the store. But at least now she is accepting the Nutri-Cal. Thanks for your suggestions and help, they are much appreciated
