#4 is definitely not an option for me. I talked to my breeder and she was willing to take him back and feed him since I can't because of school and work. I could probably make it home to do so, but I would need to skip work which doesn't suit me well since I have an over $1000 vet bill. I just don't know what to do. The breeder wants me to take him back and she'll give me the brother, but I can't give my baby away. I appreciate her willingness to help out in this, but I'm not sure what I want to do. My fiance said I should try the tummy tube until he starts to eat, but I don't know how long he'll have to stay on that. . . |
Sadly I would have to say the tummy tube too. But if you do this you have to know the point that you are going to need to stop if things are not getting better. I know that this your baby, but I would consider taking another pup if that is an option too. Maybe you can work something out with the breeder. I am so sorry to hear about your baby and I will pray that he gets better soon.
