I am trying to feed her the same food as the breeder had her on. The breeder gave me all sorts of info on that when I brought her home and I was being very good about following that, but now feel I need to try new things to keep her strength and sugar levels up.
She was eating Royal canine puppy formula #33 (she just will not eat it now). She was also eating Pedigree wet puppy food and little ceasers. She will take a couple of licks of ceasers, but that is all. The breeder also gave her boiled chicken, rice and steamed veggies (I was told sting beans were a fav)... again tried all that and no luck there either.
The breeder gave me Nutrical when I brought her home in case she was not eating well (due to the more). That has been a huge help in keeping her sugar levels up. If anyone on here has the same issue as I am having (will not eat), you should look into this. I know I will now always have this at home in the event that she ever has an issue again.
In the meantime, to get her through this... Sheri (the breeder) and I are going back and forth trying new things (which is very helpful as she knows what she has liked before she got sick). Hopefully the meds will kick in soon and she will get back to eating as well as she did before.
I saw the posting about the breeder who would not pay for the meds and wanted to note that Sheri did say she will pay, so I am happy about that.
In the meantime, my Ava is napping on my foot... she is so sweet. |
