Oh wow, do you mind me asking why she ended up away from her mommy so early ? It's ok if you don't want to answer :-) I actually ended up rescuing a 9 week old 2 weeks ago.
I would say make sure to keep some nutrical on hand and Caro syrup. When I rescued Gizmo he was going into a hypoglycemic coma because his blogs sugar was so low when I got him. He's doing great now but it was a very scary and worrisome first 36 hours for me.
All I know so far, and was the main thing that alerted me to the sugar problem, was lethargy, not wanting to wake up, but most prevalent that I seen immediately upon looking at him, was I checked his gums and they were stark white. I just knew he needed a vet right away, and by the time I got there to the vets he was on his way to a coma. At that young age, that we'd be my main concern and also making sure he gets enough nutrients by food. Not sure, but when I was feeding young kittens, they have cat replacement milk to give them the extra nutrients they need till 8 weeks old, not sure if they sell this for puppies but I would imagine they would. Also I would have a vet check the little one, just to be sure every thing is ok. Good luck with your new little fur baby xoxo |
