I have done nothing this weekend except watch her like a hawk. We have been on hard surfaces all the time so I know there have been no "mistakes". She went a LOT this AM around 7:00 but nothing since. Any suggestions on how to get her to drink more? I have been using bottled water--maybe too good? She also has not been eating much, thus no BM. Now she just wants to sit on her pee pad and do anything but pee. This has been very nerve racking as I sure she is going to get dehydrated soon. I have put water on my fingers and she will lick it and take a few laps of the bowl, but that is it. Help?! Sorry to ramble..... Jan |
Some new babies need a while to become accustomed to the environment.and won't eat unless hand fed. If she still isn't eating or drinking Monday am, a vet visit to rule out anything wrong wouldn't be out of the question. Otherwise, give hera chance to become accustomed to your routine and environment anx evsrything should work out. Welcome to YT! !
