I just hope he gets better I keep praying and praying. I feel like maybe I am doing something wrong that maybe i should just let him drink when he wants to but I don't know I feel bad. Maximus is still running around and stuff, my finance and I just forced him to drink some water, I don't maybe we are doing something wrong I don't know. He seems to be sleeping fine, maybe I should just let him be check on in every once in awhile and let him get water and food when he wants too?? maybe?
I PM'd a really great breeder for you so hopefully she will be on soon. I didn't realize that Maximus is so young! The most important thing right now is to get him to drink ... they will dehydrate very quickly with diahrea! I have always been advised to give pedialite [regular baby] and use a syringe to put it their mouth, even if you have to force it down him! I would definitely call the vet as soon as you can and just keep trying to get him to drink. Please keep us updated!
