If I don't have the door open to my room at least she eliminates on my husbands side (floor) of the bed. I do enjoy my new spot bot. |
Yes, too much cottage cheese will give them diarrhea. Have you tried using whelping pudding instead? I put that in the dry kibble and Ruby ate it really well. Or just plain too. It has good nutrition in it and a little sugar for energy. If she isn't drinking water -- which she needs to make milk among other things -- put a teaspoon of Karo syrup in it (or maple syrup) and mix it up. They like that and it gives them a little boost. Add boiled or grilled chicken breast meat to her food with a little broth over it, warm it slightly and see if she eats it. Rice is gentle on the stomach but not much nutrition in it.
She's be asleep awhile, check her gums and you might also take her temp just to be sure. A little Nutri-Cal might not be a bad idea if she is really tired.
Here is recipe for WHELPING PUDDING that I used:
Large package of Vanilla Pudding (cook kind)
1/2 Cup sugar
4 Cups milk
4 Egg Yolks
Cook on low heat stirring until thick. Let cool and give it at body temp. Give about 3 tablespoons a day between meals. You can also mix a little with the food to make them eat a little more. Make a half recipe because this is quite a bit.
Hoping you have a peaceful night.
