Oh good...her sugar is coming up and she is getting a little more active...Personally, yes, I would give her about 2 inches of NutraCal at bedtime....that should carry her thru the night, as long as she is eating at least every 4 hours....keep up syringing the pedialyte into her mouth....what size syringe are you using...3cc or 5cc, or 12cc syringe....she needs at least 2 syringefulls (12cc) every 3-4 hours.... I wouldnt put her thru surgery at this time...she is too "down"...she needs to be "reconditioned" before you insult her little body with something as harsh as surgery...the vet can give you antibiotics for her teeth until you can have her teeth done....I have a tiny little senior that can NOT tolerate surgery....she gets an antibiotic, maintainance dose, to keep her from throwing bacteria from those teeth to major organs....not the preferred treatment, but all we have left as an option for this baby.
