I have bought everything I can think of to feed her, including milkreplacement. I have given her the A/D prescription food, Pedigree puppy chow(soft) and I have heated everything up in the microwave for a few seconds towarm it up. I have made chicken andgiven that to her, she still doesn’t want it. Although she did have a bit moreinterest than anything else.

For anyone who lives in this area, I took her to Butler Animal Clinic lastweek, they are the best around, according to just about everyone. They are theones who told me her main problem was her refusal to eat. The vet we took herto first tested her for just about everything, everything was negative exceptthe hypoglycemia. They did give me aprescription for amoxicillin for a rash on her belly (I saw on here thatsomeone else was having that problem with their baby…)

She seems to be feeling a bit better, although she is sleeping, a lot! The animal hospital said I needed to hold hera lot because her body temp was so low, it was the best way to keep her warm. So I have tried alternating holding her andlaying her in a clothes basket with a couple towels. Of course at night and when I have to leavefor a bit, I put her in her crate with some towels so she doesn’t get introuble around the house. J

They told me I should be feeding her 6-8 times per day, and I have been,even setting an alarm to wake up during the night to feed her and give herNutri-Cal.
You are being such a good mom. Be sure to take care of yourself as well.
((Hugs))
