He got a cold because his immune system has been down and my family and i were giving him around the clock care for a week until i noticed that he had a sniffle. i brought him to the doctor and they told me that he had to stay there. They said he probably can't smell his food and that it is causing him not to eat. besides this, his sugar is very low and all of the food that we've been giving him, pedialyte, esbilac (sp?) and nutrical and karo were not helping him. Evidently it only lasts for 15 minutes and because he doesn't eat its harming him more than anything. I am sad because my breeder won't take my calls and they don't know what to do. I am pulling for him and I think that because he'll be so small, and delicate he'll need a healthy companion to keep him going. If you have advice on a breeder or have had this experience please let me know what to do. I am very very sad and have crying episodes every night he's been at the animal hospital. |

Has your vet done any blood work? I had a puppy with similar symptoms and it turned out that she had a virus similar to food poisioning that was contracted from the feces of infected animals (not Parvo). With some antibiotics and fluid drip she was fine, but it was a scary situation.
