I'm fostering a 12 week old 5-pound puppy that is sick and taking doxycycline. She hasn't been eating and also stopped drinking in the last 2 days. She just started her meds yesterday and the vet said to just wait it out.

I've had the dog since last week and I kept complaining (to the organization), that I was certain the dog had kennel cough but they kept saying a vet would get back to me. When she became lethargic and refused to eat I brought her in demanding she be checked and sure enough, she has kennel cough and an infection.

I only have a 1ml syringe and that is the only way I have been able to get liquids in her. She now does not drink from her bowl but is happy to drink from the syringe.

How many ML should I make sure she gets?
