I know...it's a concern of my as well, but they STRESSED it did not matter what...she HAS to be eat. They said give her anything!! I think that they are not as worried about the upset tummy as they are about the bigger picture. Once we can get her to really eat, we can then get the food choice under control...We just have to get her stronger. So far, no upset tummy. She ate whelping pudding and a little bit of chicken and a tiny amount of turkey last night. At 2am, she ate a small amount of ice cream (this was because the tech said to even offer her this). I know that it may sound like a lot, but it's not as much as some give to their girls even without something going wrong like it did with Livi...some give cottage cheese, ice cream, hamburger, chicken, dry dog food, canned food, yogurt. She did like the hamburger meat this morning so I will continue to offer her that today, but if she decides to stop eating that, I will have to offer her something else. I hate having to so this to her tummy, but I watched my fur baby almost die....I'm willing to do anything.
I will try the Pedigree that you mentioned, but it's really hard for people to understand what I mean by, "she has stopped eating". Literally, cannot entice her to eat when she gets like that...even the vet clinic was shocked.
Oh, yes...I did give her Nutrical (once this morning), but no Pedialyte. I will have to call the vet again to see if she can do certain things since she is on medication (Metronidazole). Oh, and the eggs...yep, offered her eggs...she was not interested, at all.
