So far we are just hanging in there. Was able to get mom to eat 2 vienna sausages earlier, then got her to eat another half about an hour later and now she just ate another half. Not much but a little something. Just gave her a syringe full of nutri-cal and some water to help wash it down. Then I put the bowl of water in front of her and she took some more. Gums were still pink but not bright pink which is why I did the nutri-cal. Wanting to get her to eat to bring up her sugar's as opposed to starting the IV. Just think it is better to try to get her to help before I go that route. I know if she would get a few good bites of food she would feel so much better. She does perk up after feeding but does not last too long. She has had about 4 bouts of dirrehea today. The first had a little of dark brown or black in it which happened after we left the vets this morning. Good size amount but not too alarming. Second was all dark brown/black and smaller, third was same but even smaller after 2nd visit to vet. Last one was the size of a quarter. Do you think this is from all that she has been through? Not seeing red and no red always means good but just not sure. Told vet about it but then we got on to other things so don't feel like it is of major concern since it is going down in size. What do you think?
Have to feed puppies now so will post rest of my questions in just a little while. Hoping for a better night tonight. |
