I have him on nutrical and i would continue giving him it until he really picjs up some weight.. he was pretty much just laying around for like a day and a half but today he has more energy sence he saw the vet.. i had her take and Xray of Cobys belly because he didnt poop yet
it's been more then 24 hrs and he never poop so i told her i was very worry.. she said cobys full with alot of gas and some poop he needs to pass.. she tried too give him soft foods too see if the food the breeder had him on he didnt like but coby wouldnt eat the food.. no matter what
so she put him on petiatric pedialyte and she said too keep trying to give him turkey. chicken gerber, or beachnut baby food stage 2 and i can mix it with rice in a bottle for Coby, she did say that she dose believe coby came from a dog mill and it's sad because he's too young too be at my house and coby only weighs a pound and a 1/2 so either the breeder lied about coby weighing 2 lbs or he lost weight from not eatting..?
she also said that she didnt like him being registerd with aca,? she thought that was strange and too change this asap? well she let coby go and she said she wants full update on him and when he poops let her know asap because these little dogs you have too watch all the time
so they dont get sick she also gave meds too help with him getting sick too the stomic she said cobys stressed and thats why he's acting the way he is.. however today he's been like a different dog he's giving kisses and running around more active after he saw the vet .. if anyways might know what could i do too help this puppy eat more and go poop? |
Try to give him some canned pumpkin (not pumpkin PIE mix w/spices), just plain pumpkin. Put a little on your finger to put in his mouth. It is good for constipation OR diarrhea. Keep trying the baby foods the vet suggested too, moist foods are best at this stage, and maybe even a little plain yogurt. Offer him some boiled chicken breast, finely diced, and some of the broth too. It is pretty normal for new puppies to be picky about food at first, but you must stick with him til he's eating.
I'm so glad you already took him to the vet. Hope to see pics soon.
