I know I should take him to the vet but I don't have the money. Is there anything I can do to get him to eat solid food? Help! |
You should never feed such a little one hot dogs, trout skin or any fatty foods.they very sensitive stomachs. if hes gone that long with out food please find some way to get the money and get him the help he needs. I know everyone has trouble with money from time to time. with the economy the way it is many are having money problems. BUT you cant keep letting him suffer or he will die.
use a syringe and get some pedialyte into him, nitre cal too. I cant see how a vet can tel you he needs surgery with out even doing test or x rays on him. and be able to come of with a total amount of the cost. when he hasn't tested him yet. But he does need help. sign up for the credit care TLC posted the link, if not borrow the money from some one before its to late for your little one. boil him some chicken and offer him small bites. they have a can food at the vets that will help him get energy faster. but it wont help with what ever problem that hes having. please get him to a vet for help ASAP.
