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  |
No problem at all, if you need anything, I'm right here!
Jewelina has lost weight before and it scares me to death because even for her weight she's just super petite and looks even smaller than she is and while one or two ounces may be nothing for one yorkie, for her, it's a lot. We struggle to gain "half ounces" but she does eat really well and hasn't had any hypoglycemic episodes so for that I'm thankful. I'm sure Little Tatum is the same way and shots for these super tiny ones can be so hard on them. I am SO glad to hear that she ate the nutrical!!
That's a good sign and if she won't eat anything else go ahead and give that formula a try and see if it works. I'll keep her in my prayers and hope both of you get some rest tonight!!
Hugs!
