He ate 2 more times during the day, the same mix of a/d and ground up hard, about 1 1/2 teaspoons each time!! I gave him a bath in some of pebbles mink sheen in case he was itchy and that is why he is rubbing against the furniture and took of his tiny collar with the little bell charm incase that was bugging him as well. I made sure he got some good long naps in. He did great!! he was up and around and playing with pebbles and I and seemed to be doing really well. He also was drinking water on his own (wow!). This morning he ate some more and I will try to feed him some more food in a little bit. Maybe he is finally settling in? I am so happy to see him doing so much better!! I hope he keeps it up!! I love him so much and this past week has been so hard--I am glad that it is looking like he does not have any serious problems going on. I will be weighing him daily and watching his weight hoping he will be putting some on soon!! thank you everyone for all your help and advice and prayers!! it has really helped obviously.  |
So happy to hear he is doing better!...Keep a routine for him and remember to feed him often!...Protein is not stored in the body and is used up quickly where as your carbs will last longer so he needs both....Do keep giving him his nutri-cal first thing in the morning to make sure his sugar is up and last thing at night to help him get throught the night...You will probably have to keep this up until he is older and puts on more weight...
Also, dry kibble is harder to eat and sometimes the smaller pups just get too tired to eat after chomping away on hard food so do make sure to keep up the soft canned food!..My Rosie, my first yorkie, was on canned for for her first year or more...She is 9 years old and just eats dry food now!...Keep us updated on his progress!
