It tends to get into the system faster than nutri-cal, but this one sounds like it needs more intensive care than just that.
Chachi, I doubt that a vet could do IV on such a small one. The veins are too tiny. The fluids I'm mentioning would be most likely given sub-q. |
Woogie Man, You are exactly right when you said that he couldn't be given fluids IV. His veigns are too small for the vet to find. I have switched to Karo Syrup and am giving him the boiled beef liver recipe that Kimberly put on here. (I am sorry for not knowing your last name.) He's still hanging in there. And so are we!! What I find strange, is that his brothers and sisters are so much different than he is. He is the only one that has this strange problem. I have been breeding Yorkies for about 10 years, and nothing like this has ever come up. It seems to me, like if he has it, whatever it is, then is siblings would have something also. He never wanted mommie at all. And she tried, believe me she did!! He just kept shunning her. That seems backwards to me too!! Thank you all for your prayers an good thoughts, I will update this tomorrow.
