Yikes, but we have managed to get food down. The vet recommended feeding him wet food because it contains more calories in small portions. If you have to force feed him do it gently with a feeding syringe. What ever it takes make sure he/she gets at least 70calories a day/per lb.
Trust me, you don't want to spend the $700 for an emergency visit to the vet. We've learned our lesson.
Hope this helps.
The food that my puppy eat and seems to enjoy is Blue Buffalo wet food. |
I give Nicky boiled chicken with carrots, a.d. food from the vet's office and even his favorite treats to see if that triggered his appetite.
