It is working, but she has to be fed every hour or so or her sugar levels drop again! We can't keep this up for long. She does drink water freely. All vet tests were negative, she just won't eat! Any help would really be appreciated. |
You know, this case sounds very similar to my first yorkie, Honey. She went through everything that you mentioned! Hospital stay as well! She wouldnt eat anything!! So my vet put her on cat food, believe it or not!! She was only on it for about 3 months. Then I wiened her off of it by adding little bits of her puppy food. the vet said the only difference is that cat food has more protein in it which he said is great for small dogs. So if all else fails, ask your vet and see if she will prefer cat food at this time.. Mine did. lol m
