Default Thinking of you!

Lisa...Zoe and I are thinking of you and Charlie Boy and hoping things are improving hourly! Zoe went through such a similar time and has pulled through beautifully so far. It took a LOT of care but was, of course, ever so worth it. We decided that anything she would eat was good when she wouldn't really eat. We tried:
Numerous canned dog foods (Cesar is her favorite) They went in the syringe well
Baby foods...cereals with fruits and meats with fruits...also good in the syringe. Puppy Nutri-cal on our fingertip about 5-6 times a day
Moistened her dry food with broth, puppy formula, anything, really
Dry food is Royal Canin Puppydog 30, which is tiny.
Cottage cheese and puppy formula (which you can add baby cereal to also)
And, she really likes Bil Jack "Lil Jacks"...probably like candy but calories were calories.
We still feed her about every two hours and she's gained 4 oz. over the last week and a half. Yay!
I'm sending prayers, energy and "hungry" thoughts!
