We still cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel
Our poor baby has been on antibiotics since June 6th and has chronic diarrhea. She's finished with the giardia medication but is still on Orbax for her cough which is still there and only has gotten a little better. She is not eating much... about twice a day at most. I am feeding her Fromm's chicken and duck... about 2-3 teaspoons twice a day. I am finding myself giving her a lot of nutrical because I don't want her to go into a hypoglycemic episode specially since she is not eating. Our vet has given us Fortiflora for her diarrhea and she's been on it since Friday with no improvement. I have some canned pumpkin I will try if it doesn't improve.
I've put a camera to monitor her as much as possible so that she can sleep and I can just watch her without disturbing her. I'm feeding her myself because even if I leave food out she just doesn't touch it. I feed her at 6am and then try to feed her at noon and then once more at 6pm. I have to get her started by force feeding her two finger fulls before she is interested and starts licking it off my hand. I have to be quick or else she stops and I hate to force it in her mouth but I know that if she doesn't eat she can die.
She is almost always tired and I'm not sure if this is normal for a 14 week old puppy. I'm extremely concerned with her health.
It's sad to say that laws don't protect animals as much as they should from puppy mills. I have confirmed that the place I got her from has had various complaints and are currently under investigation. I'm doing my part by providing the county with my story and documentation showing that they are selling sick puppies. I think that things can change one person at a time. Shops that don't take good care of the puppies and sell sick dogs should be shutdown. Both the pets and the consumer suffer from this. It's tiring, costly and sad when something like this occurs.
