 Jax won't eat!
My 11 week old puppy Jax won't eat. We have had him for about one week and he has been great. Eating the kibble that the breeders gave us then two days ago he had a severe bout with hypoglycemia. I don't know why he did this because I have been diligent with his nutrical and making sure he was eating for this specific reason. Anyway....after getting him back (thank goodness!) he doesn't seem to want to eat his food. The first day I think his tummy was upset by all the syrup he was given to snap him out of his episode but I am starting to get worried. I feel like I am bombarding him with all types of food but I need him to eat something. I have tried wet food, dry with warm water, baby food, puppy treats, and finally last night boiled chicken. He gobbled the chicken up! My question is...how long do I contiinue the chicken? This doesn't seem like a very balanced diet....chicken and nutrical but I am desperate. Does anyone have any more ideas. Should I get him to eat anything I can or worry about switching his foods so much? Could it be he is still 'recovering' from his hypoglycemic episode. BTW, it was really, really bad! I have been so scared to take my eyes off of him! I have been feeding him every 2-3 hours-chicken and nutrical. I feel like this is way too much nutrical but I am afraid I am going to lose him. He is drinking water and urinating well. His poo is a bit 'sticky' and soft but that is understandable due to all that nutrical. I need help. I am exhausted and I am starting to feel as if I cannot take care of this baby. Will it always be this much work and worry? He is 11 weeks old and weighs around 1-1.5lbs. Thanks to anyone who responds! Tamra |
