Thanks for the insights...especially regarding the calorie count. We are trying to offer her favorite foods...and breaking them up for her (she seems to eat small bits more than even cut-up pieces). Thanks again!

Please be sure that Bruiser takes in enough calories to sustain her until you can figure out what is going on. You don't want hypoglocemia to add to her discomfort. If she won't eat her regular food, offer something special - maybe some homemade chicken/rice with a few veges tossed in for good measure. You can also rub her gums with a bit of Kayro syrup, but if you go this route, be absolutely certain that she eats a slow buring carb - if not she can have an energy spike followed by a crash.
Good luck! |
