This is what I did for Bella too, and both of mine ate that no problem, and no vomiting either!....I've heard that some dogs don't want to eat that first day though. It just seems like SUCH a long time for them to go without food and water thouhg....it KILLS me!!  |
Huzzah! Touching my watery finger to her lips enticed her to drink from the bowl!!! Thanks for the tip. I don't think she's dehydrated come to think of it because she got the fluids from the IV and is peeing like a racehorse (almost all of it water, no yellow coloring). I'm glad she drank something though.
I got her to take the Nutrical when we first got home (I worry about hypoglycemia). After the water I enticed her to eat a little itty bitty bit of a treat. She wouldn't touch her food.
