Oh my. Poor little lovey! Our little girl did not eat well in the beginning either. We force fed her by syringe now and then with the following that was recommended by a breeder:
1/2 c milk
1/2 c instant baby rice cereal
1 jar strained baby meat (no turkey)
1/2 tsp. karo syrup
Thin this mixture out with milk if it gets too thick. Can be refrigerated for a couple of days.
This brought her energy back up so that she regained her appetite. She would often throw up in the a.m. with foamy yellow stuff which was a result of having an empty stomach and then she was nauseated and would not eat, so we would get her to eat some crumbled up rice cake and then she'd be fine and eat again. We learned to get her to eat just before bed, so her tummy wasn't empty in the a.m. and that prevented the throw-ups. |
