She seems like a very sleepy, bored dog, but I guess that was because she was already in teh beginning stages of hypoglycemia. I thought she was just freaked out about her environment. She acted the same way at the vet. First she pushed her body right up against mine (she was on the table, and I was standing next to her), then she started to explore the table after 5-10 min.
I am going to the grocery store today to pick up all of the things I will attempt to feed her, or mix with her crushed up kibble:
cottage cheese, yogurt, organic baby food, plain boiled chicken, boiled baby carrots, even ice cream. Should I not try feeding her any red meat yet? Will it be too hard for her to digest? I have also contacted a holistic vet in the US who will hopefully be able to share some wisdom as to how I can get her to eat and how I can boost her immune system (more of an issue with her cold/respiratory thing, not the hypoglycemia). I'll let you know what she says. . |
prince had the sameee crusty stuff around his face
... i am thinking she didnt want to play because she hadnt eaten enough. with all this information you can get her to eat and her energy will go up. this is when you need to remember about limiting her playtime ESP after a hypo attack. people have different prefrences about the meat.. i cook up a little meat and put pieces on top of his wet food, this really makes him EAT up. if you really think she doesnt like her wet food you can try a new brand like everyone said they like ceasars although its not very nutrious sometimes its better then nothing. try NOT to switch the wet food up too much bc it will cause for an even pickier puppy and isnt too good for their stomaches.. i would also like to hear the information you get about boosting their immune system(any home remedies?).. thanks.
sorry for the 2nd post, just wanted to make sure i answered all your questions.
