Also, be sure to allow her enough time to get thirsty, so she'll want to drink on her own. If you are syringing her too much, she won't feel the need to go and get a drink...
You can also add some water to her food to increase her water intake, and offer the pedialyte in a bowl to try to get her to drink on her own. I'm just saying this because the risk of aspiration (inhaling the fluid) is very great when this is done. If she's that dehydrated, it may be wiser and easier to have the vet give her SubQ Fluids, or even teach you how to do it at home... |
