Hey guys- first my daughter and I want to thank you for the outpouring of love and support you've given us. I hadn't mentioned this but baby Bella Dolce was a 14th birthday gif t for my daughter, Gracie who is dealing with Depression. Bella has only been with us a short time but has brought so much joy to our lives already. Gracie will be posting here tomorrow. she sends her love and hugs.
Well, we got the baby home. She is still pooping green diarrhea, but with more mucus. Not eating, so force feeding her is a chore. She keeps her little lips locked so tightly- its amazing. That's the challenge- getting the food into her mouth. She won't drink water either so we use a syringe and pry her mouth open. Feedings seems to be so stressful to her. She tries to hide and avoid us once we've started to force feed her. Still not playful or responsive much at all right now. Vet prescribed Albon 2 x day. Carmen, I will pick up goats milk ASAP and a heating pad. We r using the snuggle puppy right now.
I'm feeling like she should sleep in her bed in my room since I will be waking to feed her every 3 hours. But the only thing is that since she has diarrhea and is not potty trained, she gets up and just trots off to poop. Should I put pee pads all over the carpet in my room or just let her sleep in the bathroom?
Needless to say, I am worried sick. I broke down crying at the vet today and I've been depressed most of the day. If only she would eat and drink. She has got to pull through. It is so painful to watch her feel this way. I do blame the breeder, but also my ignorance in not knowing Better. I wouldn't trade our baby bella and will do anything to save her. We need your continued prayers hugs sent to our sweet girl.
Hugs and thanks... xoxoxo! |
