Your vet had already given you dextrose and that is for keeping the blood sugar up. Talk to him about using one of the things I just mentioned. A little dab a few times a day will help him.
I have no idea what hastrendedical means. I tried looking it up and got nothing. Is the baby on any sort of antibiotic? There are some that can be given to a pup. Has the pup been given a fecal test to check for parasites?
If the pup is having trouble holding down the chicken, you may try feeding him less, but more often. In his condition, he should be eating a little something every few hours. You could try shredding the chicken or putting it in a blender. This may help him to digest it better. If you saved the broth from cooking it, use a little of that with it.
Hopefully you can see the vet today. If he's still dehydrated, the vet can give him sub-q fluids (injection under the skin) to help with that and can give you the supplies you need to do it at home. He can also show you how to do it.
Not sure what exact problem your baby has, but nutrition and hydration must be provided to him. He is much too small to have a setback.
Best of luck with your little one. |
Thank you very much for the advise about the chicken..it worked !!
Sorry for troubling you all (with gastrendedical) i think the right word in English is : gastrointestinal problems (problem with his stomach).
My baby came traveling by plane from Hungary to Greece (i think they didn't put him in a very warm bed..!! and get cold)
Today i will tell the vet about the medicine you all told me.
Thanks again very much to all of you !!
