Hello everyone,
We are new to this website and would love some advice or suggesstions. Our story: We got (Odie) July 29th....he was 7 weeks old when we got him. Since, he has been home he has had a lot of problems......coccidia, low blood sugar level, etc.
We took him to the hospital and they hooked him up with fluids and meds....when he was brought home he had seizures from being hypoglycemia. He is back home again and we are giving him Ensure every two hours and his mediciation. He still has no desire to eat food, but will eat some of his treats. He also does not want to drink water on his own....should I try baby food. He does not want to eat chicken soup, innova, a/d, plain boiled chicken, liver and rice..... I have tried a lot of food. Also, he does not like Nutracal, which we are also giving him.

I was wondering if anyone has had this problem......and do you think he will every eat on his own? Also, when will he get back to normal?
Thank you for your help!
