I rescued a little girl about 5 months ago and she was around 6 weeks old. The breeder had no common sense. Anyway, she didn't want to eat either. I took her into the vet and explained my concern. I also explained that she had some low blood sugar attacks too. They gave her a shot of vitamin B which made her extremely hungry. From that day on she was fine.
Check the gums often and give nutrical once a day. If the gums turn white or she is acting weird, give her some more nutrical. If you don't see an improvement within 15-20 minutes, rush her to the vet.
Good luck with your little one. I can't wait to see pictures. |
Blancla, that is great advise and you know first hand, I would only add that when my guys were first brought home, they often had no interest in eating either, and just by hand feeding or by sliding a kibble on the floor, I was able to get them to eat. I.e., I had to make a game out of it, so that Gatsby would pounce on the kibble.
