We have just made it through 2 1/2 weeks of feeding Roxy by shring A/D. She was flown in and the stress of it and all the change was almost more than she could stand.
We fed and watered her (Pedialyte) around the clock every 3 to 4 hours, with Nutrical (a bead) every 6 hours. She wasn't metabilizing her sugar or food for a while. It was heart wrenching. We never gave up though.
Thank goodness she made it back after she relaxed here and now he is starting to feed herself...chicken and puppy Science Diet. We still are suplimenting.
She finally got her shot yesterday (#2)...that is how much better she is.
How bad? She bottomed out on sugar though we were giving her enough Nutrical and Karo to keep me going. Ended up in the hospital on an IV... The Drs couldn't figure it out except to say depression and stress.
She is gaining weight now and is playing and barking....we are on our way.
Hang in there. DO NOT give up! |
